A coalition of political leaders, including Atiku Abubakar, David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso, led a large protest at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday.
Despite ongoing rain, protesters demanded electoral accountability as tensions rise ahead of the 2027 elections.
The large crowd of protesters flooded the INEC headquarters, on Wednesday, defying steady rain to demand electoral accountability as tensions build ahead of the 2027 elections.
The protesters had earlier gathered at David Mark’s residence, where a morning service was held to mark his 78th birthday, before moving out in a coordinated march.
What began as a protest linked to a faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) quickly grew into something bigger.
People from different political parties and groups joined in, turning it into a broad coalition rally focused on defending democracy and questioning the credibility of the electoral system.
