Nigerians In USA Obtain Permission To Stage A Protest Opposite White House

Nigerians in the United States of America have sought the permission of the United States Department of the Interior to stage a protest at Lafayette Park, opposite the White House.

The protest aims to express their displeasure with the presidential election 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 with 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.”
