@ObiFlagboy narrating the brutality he suffered at the hands of thugs along with a number of park officials in Oshodi. We call on the @PoliceNG to investigate this issue and bring the perpetrators to book. Freedom of Association is a right owed to every Nigerian.

Violence of any form should be tolerated in our politics as a Nation. For Democracy to thrive, fear and intimidation cannot be promoted by the ruling party or even an opposition party, regardless of State or Region.
