Stop intimidating Lagos voters —Peter Obi | Nairalaw

The Vice-Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party
in the February 23 poll, Mr Peter Obi, has warned those trying to
intimidate voters in some parts of the country to stop.

He expressed worry over alleged threat by some people in Lagos
State that voters would be dealt with should they vote for a
certain political party.

Obi, who spoke with reporters in Onitsha, said such people were
starting what they could not finish, stressing that the
constitution guaranteed every Nigerian the right to vote for
candidates of their choice.

He said, “Every Nigerian is free to vote where he resides
without molestation and those who are trying to force people to
vote for a particular political party are starting what they cannot
control.

“Our people are law-abiding and they have contributed immensely
to developing the places where they live. Therefore, they have the
right to help in determining who governs them.”
