join a protest at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) in Abuja over the result of the presidential election.
On Wednesday, INEC declared Bola Tinubu, candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the election that was held on

president-elect, saying Atiku won the election.

campaign council, the party informed its members that the protest would take
