“Go back to your house if you can’t vote APC here. You are free to return home because you were not coerced into visiting the voting unit.
I will go and check (ballot papers) and if I see that you vote for another party, you’d enter wahala (trouble). You’re in APC territory. Please go and relax in your house if you’re not voting APC,” the man said.
