Nigerian youths are currently converging in Abuja for the “Occupy National Assembly” protest against the rejection of e-transmission of election results by the Senate.
There is a heavy security presence at
the scene, with personnel drawn from the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian
Army, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
The demonstration is against the backdrop of the Senate’s
position on the electronic transmission of election results.
Recall that the Senate on Wednesday reportedly turned down a
proposed change to Clause 60, sub-section 3 of the Electoral Amendment Bill
that sought to make electronic transmission of election results compulsory.
At the time of filing this report, the protesters had begun
their march from the Federal Secretariat, heading towards the National Assembly
gate.
