PHOTOS:- Nasarawa Women Protest Governor Sule’s Victory, Strip Naked and Curse Alleged Electoral Fraudsters
When Governor Abdullahi Sule was proclaimed the victor of the governorship race by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) amid difficulties, the irate women claimed they did not vote for him.
To protest the results of the gubernatorial and state assembly elections that took place in Nasarawa State, in North Central Nigeria, some ladies went entirely naked.
When Governor Abdullahi Sule was proclaimed the victor of the governorship race by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) amid difficulties, the irate women claimed they did not vote for him.
The demonstrators, who carried placards with a variety of messages, charged Governor Sule with gaming the system and imposing himself on the populace. Hence, they cursed everyone who took part in thwarting what they claimed to be their mandate.
Hurling curses at politicians whom they accused of rigging Governor Sule into power, one of the angry protesters said:-
“I came here stark naked the way I came into this world to fight for my emancipation.“Should there be my own compatriots who colluded with them to steal our mandate, I stand here today to curse and declare that may the ground open up and swallow them all.”
The party alleged that the stolen results were taken to various locations including the Government House and the Federal University, Lafia, where APC agents altered and manipulated the figures in favor of the party.
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.
