Two friends threw decorum to the wind at Old Ojo Road in Agboju area of Lagos State on Thursday when they fought over who becomes the winner of the 2015 presidential election. A man identified as Chukwuemeka was said to have boasted that come rain or shine, Muhammadu Buhari would win the election, a statement opposed by his friend, Akpan who insisted that President Goodluck Jonathan remains the best material for the plum job.
Chukwuemeka who was said to have attended the All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Ajeromi/
What was said to be a friendly discussion degenerated into a fight as Akpan allegedly hit Chukwuemeka in the chest.
LEADERSHIP Weekend gathered that Chukwuemeka’s retaliation nearly turned fatal as he gave his opponent a punch across the lips causing his teeth to fall off and a direct punch on the nose, causing him to fall.
An eyewitness, Etim disclosed that, “Akpan fainted and those in the area had to use cold water to revive him. We have been friends for many years and I don’t know why the two friends who knew each other about a decade before I knew them would fight over election that they will not gain much from. As for me, I am not a fanatical supporter of any candidate so I will not fight because of any candidate.’

@jesse: good morning. though it's a serious matter but sounds funny. SOME people behave like kids. why fight because of mere argument? will PDP come to his rescue if at all any prominent PDP member knows the victim. This shows how violent the two LEADING PARTIES are. Even after ABUJA PEACE ACCORD, supporters and politicians are still behaving like TOUTS. i wonder the kind of humans we have in Nigeria.Jesse Osayande Vucinic Ehiagwina
Good morning. Let's not even blame the 2 parties for this act of gross idiocy. The Peace Accord while a good idea is silly. Not that its not a good thought but cos even if the 2 parties go to all corners of the country to campaign against violence it is inevitable. The level of ignorance in this country is just too great for a paper signing to cure.Enyinda Nathaniel Okey

Where are the children of GEJ & GMB? I believe they will never do this to each other if they meet. Poverty has made pple to be myopic in thinking. The rich are using the poor to be rich the more and acquire more power while the poor are also against one another.
