A video of Bola Tinubu leading a protest against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has resurfaced, sparking renewed attention amidst ongoing political tensions in Nigeria. In the vintage footage, Tinubu is seen criticizing INEC for alleged corruption, election rigging, and failing to represent the interests of Nigerians.
The resurfaced clip comes as various political figures, including Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Atiku Abubakar, staged a protest at INEC's office in Abuja, accusing the commission of acting in a partisan manner. The demonstration, dubbed the Save Democracy protest, saw participants wearing Operation Save Our Democracy T-shirts and carrying placards with messages calling for the removal of INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan.
Meanwhile, the protest follows INEC's recent decision to withdraw recognition of the faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by David Mark, a move that has sparked intense criticism and political reactions across the country. As a result, the political situation remains uncertain, with various stakeholders calling for the commission to reconsider its decision.
In addition to the protests, the resurfaced video of Tinubu has raised questions about his past views on INEC's performance. The individual was taken into custody by the police, although it is unclear if any charges were pressed. The situation remains under investigation, and further updates are expected in the coming days.
