The party's national chairman, Uche Secondus, Enyinnaya Abaribe, who is the Senate minority leader, and others were part of the protest. The party submitted a petition requesting the Supreme Court to revisit and reverse its verdict on the Imo governorship election. Emeka Ihedioha of the PDP was removed by the apex judicial institution as Imo state governor. Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was declared winner of the election.

Nigerians have criticised the party for the protest which they described as embarrassing. A Twitter user @kakra68 wrote: "This makes me sick to my stomach.
