Protesters have returned to the National Assembly Complex in Abuja on Tuesday for a second consecutive day of demonstrations intensifying calls for real-time transmission of election results from polling units to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s IREV portal.
Slogans like “We no go gree, Akpabio pass the bill,” were heard as the group is demanding the mandatory real-time electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2026.
Some protesters were also heard chanting “Our vote must count.”
The demonstrators also carried placards bearing strong messages, including “Don’t alter the bill, pass it,” and “Rigging election is a coup,” alongside other inscriptions.
The chants were directed at Senate President Godswill Akpabio, as demonstrators urged the leadership of the National Assembly to prioritise the bill.
