Location: Lafayette Square, Washington D.C.
The Coalition of Nigerian Organizations in the United States held a peaceful protest at the White House Lafayette Square, titled “Democracy Under Threat in Nigeria.” The protest aimed to draw attention to the ongoing electoral tribunal in Nigeria, where the results of the recently concluded presidential elections are being contested.
The Coalition called on the international community, particularly the United States, to exert pressure on the Nigerian judiciary to ensure a fair, transparent, and unbiased resolution to the electoral dispute.
The integrity of Nigeria’s democratic process is at stake, and it is crucial that the international community take action to uphold democratic principles and the rule of law.
The Coalition of Nigerian Organizations in the United States is dedicated to promoting democracy, human rights, and social justice in Nigeria. We hope that this protest will lead to increased scrutiny and support from the global community, to ensure that the Nigerian judiciary upholds the will of the people and the democratic process
