Supporters of a faction of the African Democratic Congress on Wednesday staged a protest at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Abuja, demanding the recognition of Nafiu Bala as the party’s National Chairman. He said, “To bring clarity to what we are saying, the INEC chairman is a professor of law and a senior advocate. It refers to the status quo ante bellum. “The status quo is that the David Mark leadership, which is an invasion, should not be recognised. According to him, the INEC chairman and national commissioners were attending a workshop in Lagos, but assured the protesters that their petition would be delivered.
