Bullying people for not taking a stand in forthcoming elections is wrong – Okon Lagos

Bishop Ime Umoh, better known as Okon Lagos, a comedic actor, has denounced bullying of individuals who choose not to participate in the upcoming election.

In the interview with Sunday Scoop, the actor stated that while it is terrible to harass people for not speaking out, others who are trying to make the country function will perceive such a person as a spoiler if they do not engage in the elections or voting process.

Okon Lagos said;

“Bullying people (including celebs) for not taking a stand in the forthcoming elections is wrong. It is within their right. However, I believe the need to make this country work should be a concern because the country is not working; at least not the way it is supposed to. I also see the frustration of people who want to fix this country.

“If one does not participate in the elections or in the voting process, those who are looking towards making the country work will see such a person as a spoiler. They will also be seen as betrayers who do not want the country to work.”

On why he has been very vocal about the forthcoming elections, Okon said;

“Lately, I became (more) interested in politics; although I had always had an interest in it. I think this is an era of intense political awareness. The desire to make our country work has never been higher among the entire citizenry; hence, my participation.”
