Nigerians in the United Kingdom have vowed to intensify public protests and demonstrations against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its officials following an incident on Thursday in Lagos NDC town hall meeting, demanding accountability and greater transparency in the conduct of elections in Nigeria.\n<\/p>\n

The protesters said their resolve to demand electoral justice would not be weakened by intimidation or attempts to silence dissent, insisting that INEC must answer questions surrounding its conduct and the credibility of the country\u2019s electoral process.\n<\/p>\n

In a renewed call for accountability, the Nigerians in the UK said the demonstrations would continue and intensify until concerns over alleged electoral impunity and the actions of the electoral commission were adequately addressed.\n<\/p>\n

They maintained that credible elections remain fundamental to Nigeria\u2019s democracy and that the commission must be held accountable for its decisions and actions in the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities.\n<\/p>\n

The protesters also stressed that the demand for electoral transparency was not limited to Nigerians living in the United Kingdom, noting that citizens at home and in the diaspora were increasingly demanding answers from INEC.\n<\/p>\n

They said the struggle for credible elections must remain a national priority, adding that geographical boundaries would not prevent Nigerians abroad from participating in advocacy for democratic accountability.\n<\/p>\n

The renewed protest threat comes amid growing calls for electoral reforms and stronger institutional accountability, with the demonstrators insisting that public confidence in Nigeria\u2019s democratic institutions depends on transparency, fairness and respect for the will of voters.\n<\/p>\n

They urged INEC and its officials to address the allegations and provide explanations capable of restoring public confidence in the electoral process.\n<\/p>\n

The protesters reiterated that their campaign for electoral transparency, accountability and credible elections would continue until their demands received satisfactory attention.<\/p>\n
