Youths of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday staged a protest at the Lagos office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Yaba, calling for the resignation of the party’s national chairman, Joash Amupitan.
The demonstration, led by the ADC’s National Deputy Youth Leader, Adeola Olusi, drew a noticeable security presence as protesters gathered with placards carrying messages such as “ADC Is Not For Sale,” “Amupitan Is Already Compromised,” and “Democracy is Dialogue, Not Monologue.”
The protest followed an earlier announcement by the party’s National Youth Leader, Balarabe Rufai, who disclosed in a post on X that demonstrations would be held in Lagos and Ogun states under the banner “Operation Occupy INEC.”
The aggrieved youths said their action was aimed at drawing attention to concerns within the party’s leadership and to press home their demand for Amupitan’s resignation.
As of the time of filing this report, there was no immediate response from the ADC national leadership regarding the protest.
