Activists under the auspices of the OurMumuDonDo Movement have staged a peaceful protest at the United States Embassy in Abuja to express concerns regarding the threats to the forthcoming general election.

The activists said the objective of the protest was to draw the attention of Nigerians, lovers of democracy, and leaders of conscience all over the world to the "danger" that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari posed to the 2019 general election.

In a statement signed by the National Secretary of OurMumuDonDo, Adebayo Raphael; Convener, Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju, and Ariyo Dare-Atoye, the group said: 

"We strongly believe that it is an aberration for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to use the security agencies to manipulate the electoral system to its benefits, even as such unconstitutional and undemocratic practice has left Nigeria's electoral process in an abysmal state.

"We urge the United States, considering its relationship with Nigeria as a diplomatic partner, to continue to remind President Buhari of the dangers of uprooting the structures of the democracy that we have enjoyed since 1999 and which President Buhari himself has maximally enjoyed."
