Nigerian businessman, Isaac Fayose, has condemned the attack on supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in Lagos State, describing the incident as evil.
DAILY POST reports that suspected political thugs attacked Obi's supporters during a town hall meeting in the Oregun area of Lagos on Thursday.
The hoodlums, armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, reportedly invaded the venue, disrupted the meeting and forced participants to flee for safety.
A disturbing video of the incident has since gone viral on social media, sparking widespread reactions.
Reacting, Fayose, in a post on his official Facebook page, expressed anger over the attack and questioned why opposition parties continued to face violence across the country ahead of the 2027 election.
He wondered why supporters of opposition parties were being prevented from holding campaign activities in various parts of the country.
"People are campaigning in Lagos and you are beating them? In the East and North, the same thing, what is wrong with APC?
"Must only Tinubu be on the ballot? What is your problem? What you are doing is a crime against humanity. Our people were campaigning in Lagos today and they scattered everything.
"What is going on? Is this how to govern a nation? This is evil. People can't gather in Asaba, Lagos and other places.
"Does Nigeria belong to Tinubu and his family alone?" he said.
