Electoral Act: Prophet El-Buba Blows Hot After Teargas Incident During Protest (VIDEO)

A peaceful protest at the National Assembly in Abuja descended into chaos after security operatives deployed tear gas on citizens presenting a petition calling for the mandatory electronic transmission of election results.

Among those present was Prophet Isa El-Buba, recently returned from the United States, who condemned the action.

Reacting to the incident, El-Buba expressed his dismay, “I was tear gassed at the National Assembly, in my own country, for what reason? Imagine Nigerians in a peaceful demonstration, and all they get is tear gas. These young people are standing for the future of this nation, and all they are asking for is for their voices to be heard,” he said.

According to Daily Post, the protest, largely attended by youth activists, focused on calls for transparency in elections through electronic transmission of results.

El-Buba criticized the authorities for what he described as an unnecessary use of force.

“I was not tear-gassed when I demanded to speak with American congressmen—they listened. Why should Nigerians making their presentation here be treated this way?” he asked.

Another activist, Randy-Peter Akah, who has been vocal since the protest began, added:

“We cannot detach ourselves from the suffering of our fellow citizens. There’s no going back. We are not better than the 100 persons killed in Kwara, the victims in Plateau, or the people in Benue State.

How long will Nigeria continue to harm its citizens instead of doing the right thing? Our vote must count. We want mandatory, real electronic transmission of results.”

The demonstration underscores rising tensions over electoral integrity in Nigeria, with citizens demanding transparency and accountability from their leaders.

Protesters vowed to continue their campaign until their demands are met, urging Nigerians to take responsibility to ensure democracy prevails.
