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.
