PROTESTERS STORM PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PETITION TRIBUNAL

Hundreds of protesters have stormed the Court of Appeal Premises in Abuja, where the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal is sitting.

The protesting Nigerians who displayed placards with various inscriptions are demanding justice and the ‘return of their mandate stolen during the February 25 presidential election’.

Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress was declared the winner of the 2023 presidential election but his victory is being challenged at the tribunal by some parties and their candidates.

Some of the inscriptions read: “INEC let Nigeria win,” “Nigerians not for sale. #We fight for justice,” “A fraudulent election cannot produce a credible leader,” “President Muhammadu Buhari. #Keep Your promise,” “#Occupy INEC now,” “We stand for justice. We fight for a New Nigeria,” and “Buhari Mr Integrity Sack Mahmood Now.”

The protesters who were said to be under the platform of #Free Nigeria Movement reportedly chanted slogans advocating for justice and transparency in the legal process at the tribunal.
