The protest over the outcome of the governorship elections in Nasarawa State took a bizarre turn on Thursday as some women were seen in a viral video appearing naked during the processions.
Protest has trailed the announcement of Governor Abdullahi Sule, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the March 18 governorship election with the exercise entering Day 3 on Thursday.
The protesters said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) shouldn’t have declared the winner because it was yet to resolve the contentious issues around the results in the Gayam and Ciroma electoral wards in Lafia, the state capital.
The protest in Nasarawa state entered day three on Thursday, March 23.
Some of the women wore black while protesting. Others stripped completely naked and bitterly expressed their displeasure in front of the camera.
The women said they did not vote for Governor Sule and they accused him of rigging himself to power and forcing himself on them.
They chanted songs as they marched with placards that had inscriptions like, “Stop the conspiracy against our people,” “INEC should reverse the declaration now,” and “Our Vote must count. Ombugadu won.”
Videos of the protest are now being shared online with viewers talking about it.
The State Returning Officer for the governorship election, Professor Tanko Ishaya, declared that Governor Sule of the APC polled 347,209 votes, to beat his closest rival, David Ombugadu of the PDP, who had 283,016 votes.
