Not deterred by their presence, the protesters carrying different placards which reads; “Nigerians say no to postponement, we want election”.

“Election must hold on 14th of February” and “GEJ, you claimed you have done 20,000km of roads,
why are you afraid of elections?” went on chanting, “ Election must hold, Election must hold.”
