Some Obedients staged a peaceful protest at the Rivers State office of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Port Harcourt.
According to the, the protesters carried placards with various inscriptions demanding that their mandate be restored and that the judiciary do the right thing.
One of the protesters, who identified herself as a “Concerned Frustrated Nigerian Woman,” told reporters on Wednesday (today) that they are protesting on behalf of Obedients in Rivers State, in solidarity with those in Nasarawa State and Abuja.
The woman reiterated that Obedients are rejecting the outcome of the presidential election at the national level as well as the Rivers State result.
What we bargained for was not what we received. We say no, and we are requesting and demanding that INEC reinstate our mandate.
“That was our vote, and we want it back.” The person we voted for was not the person named president-elect.” She went on to say.
Another protester, who did not want to be identified, stated that the presidential election results did not reflect transparency.
“I do not believe Nigerians deserve this.” We require a better Nigeria. What occurred did not reflect transparency. Nigeria must be peaceful. We are here to facilitate a peaceful process. We expect them to uphold our constitution.”
The protest began as INEC was issuing certificates of return to national and state election winners.
