Prominent members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Wednesday led the “Save Nigeria Democracy” protest to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Several chieftains of the party, including Peter Obi; ex-vice president Atiku Abubakar; a former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi; ex-governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso; a former Senate President, David Mark; ex-Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola, and a former Sokoto governor, Aminu Tambuwal, among others, are present as the protesters march through the streets of Abuja.
Hundreds of their supporters and members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement also attended the protest.
The protest began at the Maitama Roundabout in the city and terminated at INEC’s headquarters.
They are accusing the electoral umpire of working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to undermine the country’s democracy.
Some of the protesters were spotted carrying placards bearing different inscriptions, such as “Hands off our courts” and “Judges must give justice”, among others.
