The protest followed the decision of the electoral umpire to suspend the recognition of the David-led faction of the party. Posting photos from the protest on his Facebook page, Kwankwaso said he “joined fellow coalition leaders and committed democrats to strongly condemn the blatant partisanship and compromised neutrality” of INEC. He noted that the “peaceful procession in Abuja united various opposition groups in a clear message: we will not stand idly by while our electoral umpire undermines the will of the people”. “We shall continue to closely monitor INEC’s activities and demand that it immediately returns to the path of impartiality, transparency, and professionalism so that democracy can thrive in Nigeria,” he added.
