Some aggrieved loyalists of the chairmanship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ifako Ijaiye local government on Saturday assaulted the agent of the Labour Party (LP), Spencer Dominic, at 027 polling unit along Yaya Abatan, Ogba, Lagos.

The mild drama ensued when the APC loyalists informed the LP agent to move away behind the electoral officers when their party candidate, Usman Akanbi Hamzat, was about to cast his vote.

In an attempt to order the LP agent to do their bidding, the loyalists dragged, slapped him, while shouting on top of their voices.

This happened right in the presence of security operatives who looked away.

In a chat with the LP agent, he said he stayed behind the electoral officers to ensure transparency but was surprised when the APC members attacked him

“I have to stay behind the electoral officers, watching the people coming to vote to confirm their voter cards. When the chairman came and asked me to leave the place, I said no, that I needed to view the voters cards of the people.”

“Then, the APC people started beating me,” he said.

One of the APC leaders, Gbenga Adebowale, argued that the LP agent was not supposed to be behind electoral officers, and was expected to keep a distance.

“The chairman of the council is the existing chairman and by the virtue of the anything he wants to join the queue and people ask him to come and for him to vote, you are now asking him his voter card.”

“Who are you? As an agent you want to question the chairman of the local government, that is not the thing and then there is a rule to every electioneering and polling unit agent officers, there are distance that you must maintain.

“So when you are standing behind the electoral officers, that means you want to cause problems and that what was they were telling him and he was aggressive about it,” he said.

The exercise has been married by low turnout across the state.

God bless Tinubu for pushing for a more democratic process but it’s a shame to see security turn a blind eye when things get heated like this, it’s supposed to be about transparency not violence. Tinubu is all about transparency.

Ha ha ha ha ha haha ha ha haha ha ha ha ha ha ha


I can't stop laughing





I remember that Terry G song testing microphone

That was wrong which should be condemned. Infact, the said Apc chairman aspirant should be arrested.

What's the thuggish behavior for?

Obidients always think they are above the law

He's a party agent not an electoral officer of a polling unit. Try and know the difference and their roles and limitations.

Between the LP agent, who was doing his Civic duty of ensuring that transparent proces, and the APC Chairman, who was acting thuggish, who is behaving above the law?

Why posting senseless post just to incite others abi?

This is another lie to score cheap sympathy as usual. I know the party of lie will try to create a drama as usual.

One-sided story, you will later find out that there's more to the story. Always playing the victim card.

tinubu is a corrupt fraudulent politician that has no shame or dignity
A pity his foot soldiers can’t think on their own

The saddest part is that the same people wailing here are the same people who didn't see anything wrong when APC voters were beaten up in the SE in the last general election. Their hypocrisy is glowing. They will even deny that it ever happened, despite that the videos of these events are all over the internet.

So why can't he even greet and welcome the Local government Boss? He wants to be arrogant and high headed in a place where he is supposed to be an opposition. He would have shown some respect and recognition after all there is life after elections, oga can find interest in him and bring him closer to benefit.
