Barely one month after the Presidential and National Assembly election results were announced, some women have staged a protest at the Independent National Electoral Commission office in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Recall that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, defeated three other candidates in the presidential election held on 25 February, 2023.
He polled 231,591 votes to edge out his Labour Party rival, Peter Obi, who garnered 175,071 votes in the State.
The duo of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) got 88,468 and 1,322 votes respectively.
The aggrieved women who were protesting the February election outcome on Wednesday, wore black and carried placards with inscriptions conveying their grievances.
The women carried different placards with different inscriptions such as “INEC Rivers State is not for sale,” “INEC we are watching,” and “INEC do the right thing for once,” amongst others.
