Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has taken to social media to express her displeasure at the recent attacks unleashed on Igbos during the governorship and state assembly election in Lagos state on Saturday, March 18.

She slammed President-elect Bola Tinubu and the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over the attacks inflicted by the ruling All Progressives Congress APC on voters.

According to reports, several voters were prevented from casting their votes because they were Igbos in Lagos. Some Yorubas were also prevented from voting because they look like Igbos.

Disappointed by the act, Ezekwesili stated that a rage was orchestrate against Igbo people.

In a series of tweet, she wrote;

"The social media and WhatsApp messages are flooded with voters who were wounded by thugs for “being Igbo” and prevented from voting.

What is that? What exactly is this brand of politics in Nigeria in 2023?

We will have to answer this question to move forward. And we shall."

"Ndi Igbo did NOTHING to
@officialABAT
nor
@jidesanwoolu
but you orchestrated a rage against a people who have dwelt peaceably in Lagos ever before you both became politicians.

Today, you even disenfranchised Yorubas that your supporters said “looked Igbo”.

You will account.

"The social media and WhatsApp messages are flooded with voters who were wounded by thugs for “being Igbo” and prevented from voting.

What is that? What exactly is this brand of politics in Nigeria in 2023?

We will have to answer this question to move forward. And we shall."

"On a day like this, I remember my very dear friend, Elie Wiesel

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.”

You who have boasted of “owning Lagos”
@officialABAT
must together with Governor
@jidesanwoolu
account for what happened today. You shall"

"The mayhem
@officialABAT
and his criminal enterprise gang unleashed in Lagos today against innocent citizens is what he wants to assume the Office of President and scale to the rest of Nigeria in the name of “controlling the Center?”

Tufia! The God Justice forbids."
