Good evening, I’m Mandy and welcome to Mandy News. We have breaking news from Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, where a large number of citizens have gathered outside the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to demand electronic transmission of results.
The protest erupted earlier today as citizens expressed their dissatisfaction with the commission’s handling of election results. They have vowed to occupy the commissionโs headquarters building and the presidential collation centre in Abuja until their demands are met.
As the tension rises, protesters have become increasingly vocal, calling for the resignation of the INEC chairman and demanding that electronic transmission be made compulsory for all future elections in the country. They are convinced that this is the only way to guarantee free and fair elections in Nigeria.
The INEC headquarters has been completely surrounded by protesters, who have vowed to stay until their demands are met. Reports from the scene suggest that the demonstrators are peaceful but resolute in their demands. They have erected barricades, blocking access to the building, and are chanting slogans such as “No more rigging!” and “We want electronic transmission!”
The situation is tense, with security forces closely monitoring the protest, and the INEC headquarters and the presidential collation centre have been placed on lockdown. The authorities are working to ensure that the protest does not escalate into violence, but tensions are high, and any misstep could have serious consequences.
It is important to note that the protesters are not affiliated with any political party or group. They are ordinary citizens who have become disillusioned with the current electoral process in Nigeria and are demanding change.
This is a developing story, and we will bring you updates as they become available. In the meantime, the situation remains volatile, and the world is watching as Nigerians demand free and fair elections. Stay tuned to Mandy News for the latest updates on this breaking story.
