Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader in Lagos, Bode George, has condemned attacks by All Progressives Congress (APC) members and followers during Saturday’s election.
He said the crimes against peaceful people trying to exercise their rights “is no different from war crimes and should be tried by the International Criminal Court (ICC)”.
The politician called the governorship and house of assembly poll a sham and an utter disgrace to the sensibilities of Lagosians.
George, in a statement, said he was “shattered and heartbroken” that democracy is in shambles in a state known for civility, humility, harmony and respect for the rule of law.
“Never in my life have I seen such a despicable and dishonourable way of not allowing people to express their right to elect whoever they want.”
The PDP chieftain said Lagos became a den of lunatics, saying the forefathers who founded Lagos – the Aworis and others – “will be angry in their graves”.
