Charly Boy group, ‘Our Mumu Don
Do’ staged a protest at the headquarters of Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) in Abuja on Monday.
The group in their numbers were
in INEC office alongside other civil society organisations, which include,
Conveners of Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju; OurMumuDonDo, Raphael Adebayo;
Coalition in Defence of Nigerian Democracy, Ariyo Dare Atoye; as well as
Campaign for Democracy; Bako Abdul Usman and MAD Connect, Moses Paul.
They were received by a senior
police officer, Paul Odama and Assistant Director, Security Directorate of
INEC, Muse Sekpe, who led their representatives into the premises to personally
submit the protest letter.
A statement co-signed by leaders
of the all the groups read: “In view of the foregoing, therefore, we humbly
request a strategic engagement with INEC to discuss the issues identified above
and other likely developments obstructing the electoral process, and how we can
equally be of significant help as stakeholders.
“We sincerely hope that our
request will be given a quick attention, treated with dispatch and a date of
engagement will be communicated to the group soonest.
“The OurMumuDonDo movement is
deeply and genuinely concerned that if necessary actions are not taken to
remedy deficiencies plaguing the electoral process, it will be difficult to
eradicate voter-apathy and disenfranchisement, and even more difficult to
sustain our democracy.
“Whilst awaiting your crucial
response, please accept the assurances of our highest regards.”
