The losers of the governorship race on Saturday and their supporters protested against the results on Tuesday, pledging to take the election’s conclusion to court.
Just as the All Progressives Congress in Kano State gave the Independent National Electoral Commission seven days to declare the governorship election in the state inconclusive, PDP supporters demonstrated in Ogun and Nasarawa states.
The APC has won 15 states, the PDP has won 8, and the New Nigeria Peoples Party has won Kano State in the governorship election results thus far announced by INEC.
As a member of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps fired a gunshot into the air to disperse protestors who stormed the INEC office in Abeokuta, the state capital, a PDP protest in Ogun State turned violent.
