The Digest:

Youths of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are set to stage protests at Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices in Lagos, Ogun, and Jigawa states today under the #AmupitanMustGo campaign. The protests follow INEC's de-recognition of ADC factions on April 1, citing a Court of Appeal judgment. Protesters demand the resignation of INEC chairman Joash Amupitan and the restoration of Senator David Mark's leadership. The Lagos protest will begin at 8 am at Yaba College of Technology.

Key Points:
  • The ADC accuses INEC of partisanship in the party's leadership crisis.
  • Key opposition figures protested in Abuja on April 8 over the same issue.
  • Protesters demand that due process and the rule of law be respected.
  • The ADC insists the Court of Appeal judgment was misinterpreted.
  • Protests are planned across multiple states today.
The #AmupitanMustGo campaign escalates as ADC youths take to the streets in three states.
