Nigerians in the United Kingdom staged a protest at the UK
Parliament, calling for the removal of the Chairman of the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Joash Amupitan, as they demanded credible and
transparent elections ahead of 2027.
The protesters made up of members of the Nigerians in
Diaspora community, voiced concerns over the Nigeria electoral system.
Speaking during the protest, one of the protesters said, “If
we must save our democracy, we need to save it today. We must enjoy a better
country tomorrow, and it starts now. It starts by asking Amupitan to resign
from that office,” he emphasized.
“We don’t want him to bury it. That’s why we are here to
speak out. We need to give maximum support. All we are fighting for is a free
and fair election,” he said.
