A mild protest broke out at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Abuja on Monday as Nollywood actor and House of Representatives aspirant, Emeka Ike, openly challenged the outcome of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, primary election for the Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC, seat.

Ike, who recently announced his ambition to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives, stormed the INEC office over alleged irregularities surrounding the conduct of the party’s primary election.

ZINGTIE gathered that the actor was defeated in the party’s primaries.

While addressing officials during the protest, Ike expressed frustration over the process, insisting that he would not keep quiet about the development.

“We don’t have an address when the election is going on. I am an aspirant, I’m a Nigerian.

“You won’t go away with this. I don’t do social media activism. INEC will not escape this,” he said.

The incident reportedly drew attention from staff and visitors at the commission’s office as tensions briefly rose during the confrontation.
