Some Nigerians in the United Kingdom have gathered to protest the #NigeriansElection2023 in front of the Nigerian High Commission on Northumberland Avenue, London, SW1.
The protest led by author and former Presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri, the crowd expressed anger and disappointment at the conduct of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking at the protest ground today, Mr. Omokri noted that from the INEC’s IREV portal, over voting was observed in almost 14,000 polling units, which affected 4.3 million votes, and manual accreditation was carried out in these and other polling units, in contravention of Sector 47 (2) and (3) of the Electoral Act.Chatham House few days ago said the polls did not meet the required standards. The American Ambassador said this polls did not meet the expectations of Nigerians. “
“So, what we are saying here today is that we want credible polls.”
“We are not here for PDP. I’m a member of PDP. I support PDP but we are not here for PDP at all.”
“Some of you, you’re Obidients. …we are united!We are not united for PDP; we are not united for Labour. We are united for Nigeria.”
Among the protestors led by Omokri were many Obidients who joined him in a peaceful protest against the INEC over the February 25th, 2023 presidential election in the country.
Obidients are loyalists of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the just concluded presidential election in Nigeria.
The protestors carried many placards bearing different inscriptions such as: “All we are saying, give us free votes,” “Election without BIVAS is digital rigging,” and “Results without transmission is election rigging.”
Others read, “INEC gave us selection, not election,” “Sunnat it is too soon to congratulate,” and “INEC Press Neck,” among other inscriptions.
