Civil society organisations sympathetic to the Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party (LP) have stormed the National Headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to demand the inclusion of the party’s candidates in the forthcoming nationwide bye-elections.
Dozens of protesters carrying banners and placards with inscriptions such as: “INEC, who is using you against LP, ”Mahmood stop destroying democracy in Nigeria”, “Tell INEC to obey court orders”, among others, gathered for the peaceful protest as early as 11:00 am on Wednesday.
