2023 Polls: Fresh Protest Rocks Abuja As Protesters Demand Interim Govt, INEC Chair’s Arrest News
“Our number two demand is that we are asking for an interim government be put in place. We are saying that because we do not want President Muhammadu Buhari to continue, his tenure is ending, so as a father he should put in place an interim government so that the interim government will now appoint another INEC chairman who will conduct a free and credible election and produce a befitting President for our country.

We the young people of this country are not happy over what is happening in our country. We may be peaceful now but when you push even a goat to the wall, the goat may bite,” he said.
The letter reads in part: “The conduct of the elections in substantial none compliance with the the extant legal framework.
