Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) this afternoon stormed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Abuja to protest the result of the February 23 presidential election.
The party’s National Chairman, Uche Secondus, led leaders of the party including its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, and party supporters to the commission’s office located at Maitama around 3pm.
Atiku Abubakar, the party’s candidate in the election, lost to the All Progressives Congress (APC’s) Atiku Abubakar with over three million votes margin.
But the party has rejected the outcome of the election which it said was militarised and the result fraught with irregularities.
The protesters chanted solidarity songs in front of the INEC office amid heavy security presence.
They arrived at the commission’s premises in Maitama, Abuja on Tuesday singing and dancing to loud music blaring from speakers mounted on an open truck.
