The OurMumuDonDo Movement, a pro-democracy group, has demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of former Deputy Senate President, Ibrahim Mantu, for revealing that he rigged elections.
The group made the demand when its members staged a protest to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja on Friday.
During the protest, the National Secretary of OurMumuDonDo, Raphael Adebayo, said "As we are approaching the 2019 general elections, it is crucial that all efforts must be made to sanitise the electoral process and reinforce the hope and trust of the electorates in Nigeria. And this is particularly urgent as the Osun and Ekiti states gubernatorial elections are fast drawing near.”
While being interviewed on a TV programme recently, Mantu had said he helped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to rig elections in the past.
Submitting a protest letter at the INEC office, the group asked the electoral body to expedite action and prosecute Mantu “for subverting the free will of Nigerians”.
