In a shocking incident that highlights the deep divisions in Nigerian politics, a woman was verbally attacked by her fellow passengers on a bus for expressing support for Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidential bid. The incident took place on Monday afternoon, when the woman boarded a bus heading to Lagos Island.

Eyewitnesses say that as soon as the woman declared her support for Tinubu, the passengers began to argue with her, saying that they had been disappointed by the ruling party’s performance over the last eight years and were eager for a change. Some passengers reportedly went as far as calling her “clueless” and “uninformed.”

Some passengers reportedly went as far as calling her “clueless” and “uninformed.”

The woman, who identified herself as Mrs. Akindele, remained calm throughout the ordeal, stating that she was entitled to her opinion and that she believed Tinubu was the best candidate for the job. However, her words fell on deaf ears, as the passengers continued to berate her, with some threatening to physically assault her.

The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning the behavior of the passengers as undemocratic and unbecoming of a civilized society. Some have pointed out that while people are entitled to their opinions, it is important to engage in civil discourse and respect each other’s views, even if they differ from one’s own.

Reacting to the incident, a Lagos State government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, condemned the behavior of the passengers, stating that such behavior was unacceptable and would not be tolerated. The official called on Nigerians to embrace peaceful and constructive political discourse, even as the country prepares for the upcoming presidential election.

The incident has once again highlighted the need for political leaders to address the concerns of the people and deliver on their promises, in order to avoid a repeat of the kind of disappointment that led to the passengers’ anger. With the presidential election just around the corner, it remains to be seen whether Tinubu or any other candidate will be able to convince Nigerians that they have what it takes to lead the country to a brighter future.
