For the protest which will take place on Wednesday 18 January 2023, at 10 am, he said the candidates are mandated to come with ten leaders from each Local Government Area.

The memos dated 16th January and addressed to all party candidates, members and campaign council chairmen, read in parts, “Recall the resolution the SWC and candidates of the party to with: To walk from the State Secretariat of the party to the offices of the State Commissioner of Police and the Director, State Security to submit letters of protest.
