About 200 protesters, on Thursday, stormed the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), demanding the conduct of a fresh governorship election in Kogi State in compliance with the Supreme Court’s judgment delivered on January 27, 2012.
It would be recalled that the apex court had, in the verdict, declared as null and void the continued stay in office of the governors of Sokoto, Adamawa, Bayelsa, Cross River and Kogi states and ordered INEC to conduct fresh elections in the affected states.
The protesters, under the aegis of Association for Justice and Good Governance of Kogi State, carried placards with various inscriptions, which included, ‘INEC must conduct fresh election as ordered by Supreme Court’, ‘We demand justice and good governance in Kogi’, ‘Kogi must be free from illegal hands’, ‘On Supreme Court judgement of 27/01/12 we stand’ and ‘Wada must go’, among others.
