Protesters in Nasarawa 

Some women in Nasarawa State, North Central Nigeria, have stripped naked to protest the outcome of the state's governorship and State Assembly elections last Saturday.

The women were enraged because they did not vote for Governor Abdullahi Sule, who was declared the winner of the governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) amid controversies.

Protesters holding placards with various inscriptions accused Governor Sule of rigging his way to power and imposing himself on the people. As a result, they cursed everyone who took part in denying them what they called their mandate.

Hurling curses at politicians whom they accused of rigging Governor Sule into power, one of the angry protesters said, “I came here stark naked the way I came into this world to fight for my emancipation. “Should there be my own compatriots who colluded with them to steal our mandate, I stand here today to curse and declare that may the ground open up and swallow them all.”

Following the announcement of the election results, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of conspiring with INEC officials and security agents to manipulate and alter the governorship election results in the state, according to SaharaReporters.

The APC claimed that the stolen results were taken to various locations, including the Government House and the Federal University of Lafia, where APC agents allegedly altered and manipulated the figures in the party's favour.

Professor Tanko Ishaya, the State Returning Officer for the governorship election, declared that Governor Sule of the APC received 347,209 votes, defeating his closest rival, David Ombugadu of the PDP, who received 283,016 votes.
