@1SirBash said: “This same Tinubu that’s attacking LP supporters with his thugs, also went to Anambra state to campaign without any problem or attack on his supporters”
Similarly, an activist and Obi supporter, Rinu Oduala, said, “‘Obidients are bullies’. But one party is currently trying to prevent an LP rally in Lagos by sponsoring attacks with thugs armed with machetes and guns. The wickedness of our ‘intellectuals and celebrities’ isn’t talked about enough.”
Aside, from the Labour Party members who sustained injuries of various degrees, many buses and cars meant to transport the supporters for the various events to be held by the party have been vandalized.
