"Ndi Igbo did NOTHING to @officialABAT nor @jidesanwoolu but you orchestrated a rage against a people who have dwelt peaceably in Lagos ever before you both became politicians.

Today, you even disenfranchised Yorubas that your supporters said “looked Igbo”.

You will account.

"The social media and WhatsApp messages are flooded with voters who were wounded by thugs for “being Igbo” and prevented from voting. 

What is that? What exactly is this brand of politics in Nigeria in 2023? 

We will have to answer this question to move forward. And we shall."
