Peter Obi, the vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi has said that he was harassed by security operatives shortly after voting in his ward in Agulu, Anambra state, on Saturday morning. The former governor was confirming news that some PDP chieftains were harassed and some whisked away on Friday evening.
“Yes, it happened. It spells trouble for the country.”
He also faulted the electoral process which he described as clumsy. He said although it takes time to get accredited and vote, it is “too early” to comment on the general election.
“The system is still a bit clumsy. Some of the things were not proper including the ink,” he said.
On Friday, the PDP raised the alarm that security agencies had launched a nationwide operation against its leaders. The opposition party said the homes of some of its leaders were searched, including that of Ayo Fayose, the south-west co-ordinator of its presidential campaign. The security agencies claimed they were trying to stop “vote buying”.
