A former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has spoken about joining several prominent politicians who took to the streets of Abuja to protest against the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Wednesday night.
Obi was seen alongside the likes of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Rauf Aregbesola, Rotimi Amaechi, and Aminu Tambuwal were seen holding the placards of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in a “Save our Democracy’ protest.
It comes after INEC’s decision to recognize the party leadership headed by David Mark.
Obi wrote on X: “Today, I joined fellow Nigerians, leaders, and members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by National Chairman Sen. David Mark to participate in a peaceful “Save Democracy” protest.
“This event was not just an effort to protect our democracy; it was also a moment of reflection on how far we have fallen as a nation.
“We must resist the suffocation of our democracy by those who once claimed to have sacrificed to defend it, but are now doing everything possible to undermine it and silence opposition.
“History will not be kind to those who traded the struggle for democracy for the comfort of power. We will not remain silent, we will not be intimidated, and we will not surrender the future of this nation. The will of the people must prevail—stronger, louder, and impossible to suppress.”
