A young Nigerian lady has shared the story of her ugly experience as she went to exercise her civic duty today, March 18, 2023 following the ongoing Governorship and State Assembly elections across the country.
The lady in question identified as Uzodimma Lucy Ogodo alleged that some thugs working for the All Progressives Congress, APC in Ebonyi State inflicted severe “physical” wounds on her for refusing to vote for their political party, being APC, simply because she refused to vote for the party they are working for.
According to her story, the APC thugs followed her to her polling unit, trying to convince her to vote for their party (APC), of which she vehemently refused to succumb to their demand. She then went on to vote for the party of her choice, and as such angered the thugs, then they tried to tear her ballot papers into pieces for refusing to vote for their party, but she strongly resisted them, hence the reason they decided to inflict the wounds on her by beating her up.
Also, she stated in the tweet that all these happened in front of the security agents present at the polling unit, and they didn’t intervened as she was helplessly manhandled by the thugs. Her clothes were allegedly thorn in the process as well.
Going further, she alleged that the thugs threatened to kill her whenever they meet her in town after the election. Well, she made it clear that no amount of threat or bully will make her vote for any candidate that is not her preferred choice.
“nobody will bully me into supporting evil,” she wrote.
The post has continued to attract mixed reactions from people, with most of the comments strongly condemning such act of violence meted out on the innocent lady, whose only sin is voting for the candidate of her choice.
