2023 Election: Youths Protest in Lagos Over Inability To Vote | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

Some youths in Lagos on Sunday took to the street to expressed grievance over their denial to cast their votes during the just concluded presidential and National Assembly elections.

It was gathered that the protest took place outside one of the collation centres at the Lagos State Model Nursery and Primary School, Maria, Lagos.

They claimed being disenfranchised because no Independent National Electoral Commission official was present at their polling units on Saturday during the elections.

They had chanted solidarity songs and were pouring out their displeasure by shouting, “We must Vote!”

However, security operatives, including the policemen and men of the Nigerian Army were on the ground to ensure safety, orderliness and peace in the area.

One of them, who preferred to be addressed as Charles, claimed that elections did not hold at his Polling Unit, 064, Ward 6, United Estate in the Sangotedo area of the state.

He said, “We did not see any INEC official till now that I am here.

“What we want now is that we want to vote; even though my candidate does not win, I know that I will justify my feeling in my fatherland.

“I want INEC to go there, allow us to vote; this is our era; we the youth must take our course.”

Another disgruntled youth, Mr Henry Mba, said the primary school where elections were to hold had 10 polling units, but elections were held in only seven out of the 10.

According to him, the three units where voters did not vote had the largest number of voters.

“Voters were present at those polling units till very late in the night, through to early hours of this morning, hoping to still cast their votes,” Mba said.

Speaking to the media, a musician, Mr Olubankole Wellington, known as Banky W, who was there to calm the youth, urged INEC to officially address stakeholders on the issues raised by the youth.

Banky W is the Peoples Democratic Party’s House of Representatives Candidate for Eti-Osa Federal Constituency of Lagos State.

He said,

“The days are gone when Nigerians will just sit by and allow people in authority to do whatever they want without being held accountable.

“So, what you are seeing is a community that is intending to hold the people in authority accountable, to allow them to exercise their civil rights, vote for who they want.

“Also, I think it is only fair; and at the end of the day, even if they are not ready to do it today, they should come out and address the people and let us know when they will vote.”
