Former presidential candidate and leading hopeful for the 2027 elections, Peter Obi, on Monday led a group of protesters to the National Assembly to demand electoral reforms.
Naija News reports that Obi, who was accompanied by several supporters including activist Aisha Yesufu, was seen at the entrance of the parliamentary complex as the demonstrators pressed their demands.
The protesters gathered at the National Assembly to call for the approval of real-time electronic transmission of election results from polling units, a key provision in the Electoral Amendment Bill currently under consideration.
Their presence at the complex drew attention as they chanted and displayed solidarity in support of electoral transparency and credibility.
Security operatives were deployed to maintain order around the area.
Personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps and other paramilitary agencies stationed patrol vans at strategic points around the National Assembly complex, while officers monitored the situation to prevent any breakdown of law and order.
