Tension as Destiny Elliot political opponent, Olumide Oworu and his team get attacked by thugs [Video]
A shocking video has surfaced on social media, revealing the harrowing moment when the Labour Party House of Assembly candidate, Olumide Oworu, and his team were brutally attacked by political thugs during a rally on March 16th in Surulere, Lagos. The video has generated mixed reactions from netizens, with many expressing their outrage and concern over the incident.
The disturbing footage shows Olumide Oworu's team expressing their anger and dismay following the violent attack by their political opponents, which resulted in the destruction of tables and chairs in the restaurant where they were gathered. In addition, the campaign bus front glass was smashed, and the thugs also made away with the team's phones and laptops.
It is worth noting that Olumide Oworu, a 28-year-old House of Assembly candidate, is set to contest against his senior colleague, Desmond Elliot, a 49-year-old who has held a seat in the Lagos State House since April 2015 under the APC party. While some have speculated that the attack on Olumide Oworu's team was orchestrated by Desmond Elliot, others hold contrary views.
The video has generated significant attention on social media, sparking a heated debate about the current state of politics in Nigeria. Many Nigerians are now calling for an end to political violence and intimidation, urging political leaders to promote peaceful and fair elections. As the country gears up for the 2023 general elections, it is essential to ensure that political campaigns and rallies are conducted in a safe and peaceful environment for all parties involved.
