Oboshi said, "What we are doing today is a peaceful protest and it is allowed in Democracy. The reason for our protest is that in Nasarawa State, two electoral wards cannot hold the whole state to ransom. "The governorship election and that of the House of Assembly were done the same day, the same time and with the same election materials. 

But the governorship election was announced, and that of the House of Assembly has not been announced up till this moment because it was declared inconclusive. "If Gayam and Ciroma electoral wards results from Lafia LGA were included in the results that INEC announced for the governorship election but the Assembly elections were inconclusive in the same electoral wards, then INEC should also declare the governorship election inconclusive so that we can start afresh." --
