The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced a protest to show its grievances about the conduct of the 2023 presidential election won by Bola Tinubu of the APC.
The protest will take place at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja.
On Wednesday, recall that INEC declared Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the election that was held on February 25.

But the PDP rejected the declaration of Tinubu as the president-elect, saying Atiku won the election.
In a notice by Ibrahim Bashir, director of admin, Atiku campaign council, the party informed its members that the protest would take off from the Legacy House in the Maitama area by 10 am.
It added that the uniform for the protest is black.
