As the results for the last Saturday’s elections continue to trickle in, Yobe State residents are shocked as a young man who breezed in from nowhere defeated the present Speaker of Yobe State Assembly, Ahmed Lawan.

Lawan, who have been representing Nguru II Constituency since 2003, lost to a vibrant 36-year-old man, Lawan Musa of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has urged Yoruba leaders to halt the anti-Igbo violence in Lagos State.

Ejimakor described the anti-Igbo violence in Lagos State as a mini-genocide.

In a tweet, he lamented the silence of Yoruba leaders, stressing that they are complicit.

He wrote: “Dear Yoruba leaders: I demand that you immediately halt the anti-Igbo violence raging in LAGOS. It’s a mini-GENOCIDE & your silence makes you complicit when time for reckoning comes.

“I’m not an Igbo leader, but I’m sure the 70 million Igbos worldwide are with me on this. Oh, #MNK.”

Following the outcome of the presidential election in Lagos State, Yorubas and Igbos have been at loggerheads.

In an attempt to ensure the All Progressives Congress, APC, doesn’t lose in Lagos State during the governorship election, a video emerged of the State’s Parks Management Committee Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, threatening Igbos.

MC Oluomo had warned Igbos who won’t vote for APC to stay in their houses.

Ahead of the governorship election, some markets populated by Igbos were also burnt down in Lagos State.

Julius Abure, the Labour Party National Chairman has shared a video warning of a national shutdown if Governorship results in Enugu and Abia are “altered” by INEC.

According to Abure, the Labour Party candidates in both states were well ahead of their rivals.

He claimed in Abia state, the Labour Party candidate Dr Alex Otti won in all the local governments but that the Abia state governor, Okezie Ikpeazu through his agents had allegedly held INEC officials hostage to manipulate results.

Comrade Abure warned that if the people’s mandates were “stolen” in those states, he wouldn’t be able to control any possible uprising.

The senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Enugu East zone, Sen. Chimaroke Nnamani has conceded defeat after losing to his Labour Party contenders, Mr Kelvin Chukwu.

The election which was supposed to hold on February 25 was shifted to March 18 after Barr. Oyibo Chukwu was gruesomely murdered three days before the date.

Speaking through tweets on Sunday, the former governor of Enugu State congratulated the winner while also urging his supporters to remain calm.

“The result of the election is in tandem with the rave of the moment in the South East zone who have identified with the Labour Party. A contrary result would have negated the trend.

“I wish the Enugu East senator-elect a successful tenure in the upper legislative chamber.
