Nigerians Obtain Permission From The US Govt To Stage A Protest Against Nigeria's Presidential Election At Lafayette Park Opposite The White House

Nigerians living in the United States of America who sought permission to carry out a protest at Lafayette Park, opposite the White House have been obliged by the  United States Department of Interior.

The aim of the protest is to express their displeasure with the presidential election which held in Nigeria on Feb. 25, 2023.

In a memo, the Nigerians explained that INEC "did not follow their guidelines nor rule of law in accordance of democratic principles."

They added in the memo: "We in the diaspora are demonstrating to call the attention of the US government and Biden administration to not recognise the projected winner."

The permission was granted to carry out a protest on April 3 on the condition that the participants must "comply with all of the conditions of this permit and with all reasonable directions of the United States Park Police."
