In a speech made at the National Peace Committee last week Friday, Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress (ACC) presidential candidate accused members and supporters of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) party of defacing campaign posters of other political parties and even preventing them from being up at all in the city of Lagos.
He described the current political landscape and atmosphere as indicative of a warzone and decried certain Nigerian state governors and party movers as being the culprits behind the near-constant state of violence and unrest that has traditionally befallen every election season.
As evidence, he pointed fingers at the case of the woman burnt to death in Kogi, whose murderers, as of the time of writing, are yet to be apprehended as well as the viral remarks made by certain elements in the states of Bornu and Kano stating that they would kill everyone in the state should they fail to win the election.
Mr. Sowore accused fellow presidential candidate Bola Tinubu of inciting his supporters to frustrate the efforts of other parties to promote their candidates but said that despite it all he was confident that he would be the next Nigerian president.
