Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has inspired a protest outside the National Assembly, as his loyal supporters joined forces with civil society organisations, some opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) members, and women’s groups.
The demonstration began from the Federal Secretariat, with Peter Obi’s supporters at the forefront of the march toward the National Assembly gate. Organisers say the protest is aimed at raising their voices on issues tied to governance, transparency, and accountability—principles Peter Obi has long championed.
Security was heightened along the route, with officers from the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps stationed to maintain order. Barricades have already been placed to prevent entry into the National Assembly premises.
Participants emphasized that the protest is peaceful and symbolic, intending to make a statement at the entrance while reflecting the ideals and advocacy Peter Obi represents.
