2019 General Election And The Military via thisdaylive
Two civil society groups, the Save Democracy Women and Impact Future Nigeria on 6th March staged a protest in Abuja over what they termed “the militarisation of the 2019 general elections.” But their protest evidently did not matter in the reckoning of those deploying troops for what ordinarily should be a civil engagement.
Even though the main opposition party in the state , the All Progressives Congress , was banned from presenting candidates in the election, the exercise was a little short of a full blown war, an unending battle of supremacy between the sitting governor Nyesom Wike and his immediate predecessor and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi. Viral video captured soldiers overrunning the home of a state official and even chasing after female residents with guns drawn.
