He said:
“Young people are gathering to protest the situation and bogus election that have just been concluded.
“As Area Father, I am just here to make sure that it is peaceful and that they are doing the right thing.
“I believe in what they are doing and I am here to show support. The election result is the most bogus, most annoying and a financial disaster looking at the money wasted on the exercise by the Federal Government,”
The peaceful walk’s organiser, Mr. Isaac Balami, stated that the demonstration was in response to INEC’s announcement of the 2023 presidential election results.
By failing to fulfill its pledges, he said INEC had violated the political parties’ peace agreement and the code of conduct.
Balami credited the high voter participation nationwide to INEC’s assurances that the election would be transparent and that people’s ballots would be counted.
He said that when INEC realized the APC was losing the election, the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) ceased functioning.
According to Balami, the lack of joy in the APC victory across the country indicates that the election outcome did not represent the people’s decision.
