The Obidient Movement has demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of Adekunle Mustapha, popularly known as Sego, the Lagos State Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). This demand follows a viral video where Sego allegedly threatened to kill anyone who votes against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos during the 2027 elections.
Sego was captured on video warning voters that anyone who “makes mistakes” in the 2027 election would be dealt with, implying violence against those who don’t vote for the APC. The Obidient Movement claims Sego’s actions are part of desperate attempts engineered by the APC to intimidate voters, given the party’s lack of popularity and voting strength in Lagos.
The group has called on President Bola Tinubu, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Department of State Services (DSS), and other security agencies to immediately arrest and prosecute Sego. They recall the violence unleashed by NURTW members and other thugs during the 2023 elections, which resulted in killings and maimings, particularly targeting supporters of Peter Obi and the Labour Party.
The Obidient Movement insists that Nigeria cannot afford another election tainted by violence and has warned that failure to act could prompt citizens to resort to self-defense, potentially leading to anarchy. Sego has since denied the allegations, stating that his remarks were misconstrued and that he was addressing NURTW members. He was invited by the DSS for questioning and later released on bail.
