“It was serious violence that I witnessed myself. They told people that you cannot vote because you look like a certain way, or because you are from certain part of Nigeria. That is not what Nigeria is all about. That is not what democracy is all about. That is a crime against humanity. And I think United States should never stand for this. We Nigerians in the United States should never stand for this,” Adewusi said.
The ‘Obidients’ displayed placards which reads: “Nigeria’s Democracy Under Siege”, “Daylight Robbery”, “Nigerians Reject The Election Results”, among others.
Aisha Yesufu, an influential ‘Obidient’, was among the protesters.
