The supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are leading a protest to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja.
The protest, which is being led by its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubaker is part of the party’s stance that the just-concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections were not transparent.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu polled 8,794,726 and was declared President-Elect 4am Wednesday by INEC.
The former Lagos State governor came out tops in 12 of Nigeria’s 36 states, and secured significant numbers in several other states to claim the highest number of votes — 8,794,726, almost two million votes more than his closest rival — former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the PDP.
Atiku, 76, who has now run for president six times, got 6,984,520 votes, while Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who, in less than a year, galvanised young voters in a manner some have described as unprecedented finished the race with 6,101,533.
