Here's copy of the protest letter submitted to INEC Chairman by PDP's National Chairman, Uche Secondus

Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stormed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday protesting the just concluded presidential election.

PDP national chairman, Uche Secondus led party supporters to the commission’s office located at Maitama around 3 pm to demand for their ‘stolen mandate’.

INEC declared President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the winner of Nigeria’s 2019 presidential election. Buhari polled 15,191,847 votes to defeat his closest rival, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, who scored 11,262,978 votes and 73 other candidates.

PDP, however, rejected the election result even before INEC finished announcing, saying that they have the original result.  Atiku rejected the result saying that he will be challenging it in court.
