On my way to the United Nations Headquarters, New York City, this morning to participate in the UN Commission, I ran into a motley crowd of peaceful protesters right in front of the Nigeria House, Intersection of Kudiriat Abiola Street.
The protesters were brandishing colourful placards some of which read: “INEC give us free poll”, “We want free elections in Nigeria” etc etc.
One of the organizers of the peaceful protest was so kind as to grant me an interview on the rationale for the protest. He told me that the last Presidential election in Nigeria was massively rigged. He expressed regret that the Nigerian people lack confidence in the Nigerian judiciary because the judiciary seems compromised.
I took a photograph with them and continued walking to the UN to participate in the UN Commission.
