Police have reportedly attacked
leaders and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who are currently
protesting against the outcome of the Osun State Governorship election at the
headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja.
“I have just been teargassed by
the @PoliceNG at @inecnigeria office. Gunshots have been fired.
“This was a peaceful protest. How
can I be treated like this in a country I have fought for and invested in?
“This is madness, I came with
words they answered with bullets!” Senator Ben Murray Bruce tweeted.
Leaders of the opposition party
among whom are the Senate President, Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; and the National Chairman of the party, Uche
Secondus, led the protesters to INEC office after they had earlier converged at
the national headquarters of the PDP in Abuja.
Also among the protesters are
Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State; former Niger State Governor and
presidential aspirant, Sule Lamido; and Senator Dino Melaye, among others.
The PDP wants the electoral
umpire to declare PDP candidate, Ademola Adeleke the winner of the Osun
election.
