A group of protesters under the egies of Save Nigeria Democracy Group Wednesday took their protest to the national headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission to express their opposition to the spate of inconclusive elections declared by the commission.
While addressing the INEC representative, who came to receive the protesters, the leader of the group, Tijani Abdulmumuni, said it has become necessary at this point for all well meaning Nigerians to halt and take a critical review of the events that characterised the just concluded elections which he added portend danger to democracy in Nigeria.
“It also heightens the fear of the dire consequences of the federal government muscling INEC and the nation’s security into turning blind eyes to obvious infractions and violations of the federal constitutional provisions and Electoral Act and the regulations/guidelines regulating the 2019 general election and went ahead to uphold and announce a tailored result that only serve the ruling APC,” he said.
“We wish to place on record that the monumental electoral fraud and manipulation which have very negative implications on the credibility, transparency and integrity of the entire elections constitute a latent threat to our democratic development. “In the North-west, the deplorable use of battallions of underage almajiri was the order of most fronline states in addition to armed thugs unleashed on voters.
The protesters, who chanted solidarity songs, asked Nigerians to rise and reject the results and push for immediate redress.
We are using this opportunity to call upon the Electoral commission to investigate the Role of Nigeria army during the 9th March election, which took the lives of many Nigerians in Rivers State.
What happened to saving our democracy? Following our laws and rules? That's only for others, not the thieves' party?
This is the worst inec I've ever seen, the worst election ever!
