According to a viral story, a fanatical supporter of Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate in the Saturday, February 25, 2023 election, has reportedly committed suicide out of disappointment and hopelessness.
A viral photo which shows the young man’s lifeless body dangling from a rope quotes the teenage Obidient as accusing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of rigging out Obi, the choice of Nigerian youths, during the disputed ballot. INEC had proclaimed Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the election, with Obi coming a close third after Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The viral post entitled “SAD NEWS” reads: “I will tell God INEC killed me, Young Boy from Plateau state commit suicide and dies after Obi lost a rigged election.
The 19 years old boy left a short note behind which reads “ no hope for Nigeria for the next 20 years after Obi lost the election, I rather end it now than to live in a hell called Nigeria”
The small boy was part of the people that protested in the sun and rain to market Obi, but got disappointed by INEC that rigged the Election in the favor of Tinubu.”
