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”.


“Power-hungry fellows turned everything upside down in their quest to retain power, with ‘Oro’ worshippers invoking spiritual insults on other Nigerians in broad daylight,” George added.

Recalling soldiers deployed during the presidential and national assembly election, he quipped: “Who ordered that the soldiers should be withdrawn during the governorship and House of Assembly elections?”


The retired General noted that due to threats from hoodlums, many potential voters returned home angrily without voting.

George made reference to the “snatching of ballot boxes/papers by APC thugs”, the burning of election materials and the free use of dangerous weapons at polling units.

The PDP stalwart further accused the ruling party of fuelling ethnic division, as its followers disenfranchised people because they are Igbo or look like Igbo.

“Some voters were matcheted and shot. This is not the Lagos we used to be proud of. This election is a total disgrace to APC and Nigeria,” he fumed.


George maintained APC Presidential Campaign Council spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga is not an indigene, warning him to stop speaking on Lagos issues with authority.

Even ,the air raids performed against ..

the ibos during the civil war wasn't a war crime.

Se dis small thing na war crime..haba

He is not taking seriously

Election of gun, Cutlass, knife and bottle

Chasing non yoruba people away from poling unit

Burning of voter paper in some place where LP party win them with wide marging.

Saturday election in lagos na jamboree.

Igbo people in Lagos should be wise to quit being used by Lagos Yoruba political leaders as TOOLS to achieve their political dreams. Bode George is not any different from Bola Tinubu in basic tribal instincts and sentiments. Even Chinedu Rhodes Vivour wouldn't have been any different if he won.

Igbos should vote to protect their interests and not to be used as mere tools. If working with APC will ensure the protection of your interests, by all means do it.

Lagos did not have election on Saturday. We had a war.

Sanwolu is not a people elected governor.
He is a miscreant, thugs, vagabonds, agberos, criminal police and criminal INEC officials selected governor.
And he must need to service these group of criminals because they are the ones who gave him the mandate.
Don't be suprised to see a lagos with an increase in criminal activities.

Baba George are you speaking from Togo

Seriously it's a shame that people were prevented from voting in some parts of Lagos. Nobody should feel unsafe to vote in any part of Nigeria especially a cosmopolitan city like Lagos

Which war crime was committed?

sir Bode, Bayo Onanuga will continue to speak authoritatively on Lagos and Yoruba issues as long as you were once spoke on Lagos and Yoruba issue while you were a PDP member.

You were also a military administrator in Old Ondo state.

Your clannish mentality will not be encouraged in Yoruba land.

Is uncle Bode speaking from exile?

Their anger now is that “Who ordered that the soldiers should be withdrawn during the governorship and House of Assembly elections?”

Pa Olabode should pick his phone and call Tinubu & Sanwo-Olu and congratulate them.

At last Pa Bode George can leave Lagos and Nigeria for us
