The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos has strongly condemned the post-election hate speeches and fake news that are being promoted and sponsored on various social media platforms and media spaces.

Speaking at a press conference held in Lagos on Thursday, to review the election, comments and false allegations by opposition parties, Spokesperson of the party, Hon. Seye Oladejo, commended security agents for their professional conduct despite attempts made by some people to create an atmosphere of fear and violence.

He alerted the security agencies to meetings held on Twitter Space aimed at mobilizing unsuspecting people for demonstrations to destabilise and destroy Lagos.

He however urged the police and other security agencies to go a step further to curbing the excesses of warmongers and scaremongers who are desperate in their bid to foment trouble in the State.

He said, “We condemn the post-election hate speeches and fake news still being promoted in various media spaces.

“May I alert the security agencies by calling their attention to meetings on Twitter Space towards mobilizing unsuspecting people for demonstrations aimed at destroying Lagos State, a replica of the #EndSARS saga.

“It should be noted that the general elections were held throughout the nation and the law provides for those not satisfied with the conduct of the exercise to approach the court of law as it is done in civilized climes. Any approach contrary to this under any guise should be viewed seriously.”
