The Governorship election holding in Nigeria today has recorded turn outs in many polling units across the country while yet in others, voter turn out is poor following threats by party thugs.

Although voter accreditation and voting are ongoing in many polling units, election materials have either been snatched or electorates chased away by thugs.
Lagos:
In Lagos, thugs also called Agberos are going about different polling units chasing voters away. In other units, the thugs are preventing certain voters from going into the voting area to cast their votes.
While thugs attacked voters, Nigeria police stood and did nothing.
Which way Nigeria? Which way Nigeria Police?

It’s 10:08 and people are waiting & ready to vote but INEC officials are no where to be found. Another strategy by the desperate APC in Lagos#NigerianElections2023 #NigeriaDecide2023 pic.twitter.com/Yfquns4MVs

There have equally been claims of gun shots and weapon-carrying Agberos roaming the streets, including Alimosho.
“If you will not vote APC no come out”
APC thugs in Lagos. Which way Nigeria?
So, boys wearing reflective vests with the “Team Lagos” inscription aren’t letting the Igbos a chance to vote at Egbeda in Alimosho in collaboration with touts. Is this democracy?#BVAS #INEC #Governorshipelections pic.twitter.com/Ruu9T3L5dO
