2023 Elections: Nigerian Police Ignored Political Thugs,Targeted Journalists. EU by Curious345(op): 6:50am On Jun 29, 2023
This was stated in the EU’s final report, “Election Observation Mission Nigeria 2023, ” released on Tuesday.

European Union says Nigerian police ignored thugs disrupting and wreaking havoc during the 2023 general elections but clamped down on journalists helping to report and take evidence of violence during the elections.

This was stated in the EU’s final report, “Election Observation Mission Nigeria 2023,” released on Tuesday.

“Law enforcement agencies failed to prosecute persons who attacked, intimidated, harassed, or obstructed journalists prior to, on and after both election days,” the EU reported.

“The EU EOM observers confirmed multiple incidents involving media. Several attacks occurred in plain sight of the police and in some cases the police detained the journalist who documented irregularities, but not the attacker. It clearly evidences the absence of actual practices for protection of media practitioners.”

In a viral video on March 16, Musiliu ‘MC Oluomo’ Akinsanya threatened Igbos who will not vote for his party, the All Progressives Congress, to stay indoors during March 18 governorship election.

In crude enforcement of MC Oluomo’s threats, APC thugs roamed freely on Lagos streets, threatening those who will it vote for the APC from coming out to exercise their civil duty, Peoples Gazette reported.

The EU also debunked claims that the Nigerian 2023 election was free and fair, saying the elections were marred by violence and bloodshed, with at least 74 persons killed in 101 violent incidents.

The main thing there was to manage the situation from escalating.....


But why is the EU speaking up now when it's leaders hastily sent their congratulations messages without critically observing the true nature of the election.... Isn't this hypocrisy?

1. 7.5% VAT on diesel
2. Fuel subsidy removed
3. Electricity tariff hiked
4. University tuition increased to 400K+
5. Naira devalued
6. Same old politicians lined up to continue the looting

While
7. FG Votes ₦24 Billion For 10th NASS Members’ Accommodation
8. Elected Politicians, Judges Set To Get 114% Salary Raise

The only solution is Nigerians must shun tribalism and religion expecially (y0l0ba Muzlems) and hold these politicians responsible. Or else we will all die.

And some people will come out and say this was the best conducted election in Nigeria or maybe they will say IPOB has bribed EU, people don't know why I hate Tinubu's style of politics and governance, he institutionalizes corruption and legitimizes illegality.
