A coalition of prominent Nigerian political figures on Wednesday staged a protest in Abuja, demanding reforms in the country’s electoral system and accusing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of bias.

The demonstration, tagged “Occupy INEC” and “Save Our Democracy,” was spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, alongside Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, and former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi.

Also present were the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola, former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal, and former senator Dino Melaye, among other party leaders and supporters.

Trigger for the Protest

The protest follows INEC’s decision to withdraw recognition from the ADC leadership after a Court of Appeal ruling, a move the demonstrators described as politically motivated.

Organisers said the action was aimed at drawing attention to what they termed increasing interference in the electoral process and the need to safeguard Nigeria’s democratic institutions.

Atiku Abubakar, who had earlier announced the protest, said it was a peaceful demonstration driven by a commitment to protect democracy and prevent any slide toward authoritarian rule.

Voices from the Streets

At the protest venue, demonstrators chanted “Ojoro”, a slang expression suggesting electoral malpractice, while holding placards bearing inscriptions such as “Tinubu, why are you afraid?”, “Let democracy breathe,” and “Judges must give justice.”

Participants also sang “Arise, O Compatriots,” Nigeria’s former national anthem, in what appeared to be a symbolic expression of national unity and civic responsibility.

Amaechi Urges Citizens to Act

Addressing the crowd, Rotimi Amaechi called on Nigerians to take an active role in defending the country’s democracy.

He warned against political manipulation and emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.

According to Amaechi, the protest reflects a broader commitment among political leaders to demand credible, free, and transparent elections, adding that safeguarding democracy is a responsibility that extends beyond politicians to all citizens.

Rising Political Undercurrents

The joint appearance of Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso, and other influential figures—many of whom were rivals in the 2023 presidential election—has fueled speculation about possible political realignments ahead of 2027.

Analysts say the protest signals growing concern among opposition leaders over electoral credibility and could mark the early stages of coalition-building.

Call for Electoral Integrity

The protesters urged INEC to remain independent and uphold its constitutional responsibility to conduct free and fair elections.

They warned that any perceived bias could erode public trust and weaken Nigeria’s democratic framework.

The protest underscores increasing political tension as the country gradually shifts focus toward the 2027 general elections, with stakeholders calling for transparency, accountability, and stronger democratic institutions.

Another movement, just the way APC enter via empty promises. I'll prefer this new one sha. At least they will have to do right to gain people trust. APC already on the table so they slack off.

Person say he be NADECO 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

See country wey NADECO Dey rule as e be like south Somalia. Nothing Dey work. Fuel Price dey fluctuate like preeq wey see girl noodle. no intervention, no measures

Economy > 0
Security > 0
Infrastructure >0

CEFA get value pass NADECO currency (Naira)

E corner all governors as e Dey plan for 2nd tenure. To do what exactly?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Inasmuch as they have the right to protest, if all these leaders had shown the same commitment to good governance and had spoken out against poor governance in the past or protested to collectively make the country better ,we wouldn’t be where we are today. Now that it affects their daily bread, they are out protesting. Selfish people.

For their pocket
Make me fight for my own pocket

Oha how can a person threaten to rape the first Lady of a country and it will be swept under the carpet. It simply means you are raising false alarm. Try another style.

Tinubu is a failure that shouldn't have come anywhere close to power.

Tinubu is the most incompetent president yeye man

One word for Dino Melaye: clown

It's terrible that a clown like this is who Atiku and ADC have fronting for them.

Cum4me:
Tinubu is the most incompetent president yeye man

Dino Melaye is not in a position to say that, seeing how he is a very useless person himself.

Everything will be reverted.


I don't think up to 10% of Nigerians can sing the new meaningless national anthem

They don't know that the new National Anthem is the old National Anthem!
