The Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State on Thursday condemned INEC for omitting party’s logo in the Senatorial and House of Representatives’ ballot papers ahead of the Saturday’s General Elections.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that INEC on Wednesday took delivery of sensitive materials for the Presidential and National Assembly Elections scheduled for Saturday.
.
Pastor Dayo Ekong, the LP Chairperson in Lagos State, at a news conference in Ikeja, called in INEC to reschedule the election until the party’s candidates were included on the ballots.
.
According to her, as Nigerians prepare to go to the polls on Saturday to elect a new President and members of the Senate and House of Representatives, the LP is decrying the flagrant exclusion of the Labour Party National Assembly candidates on the ballot papers.
.
Ekong called out INEC to either correct what she described as anomaly or reschedule the National Assembly elections.
.
Quote
“This malicious “error” was found out this morning in Lagos, by me and my team of executive members during the routine inspection of election materials.
.
“It was at inspection that it was discovered that Labour Party was not listed for the election for Senate in and House of Representatives in Lagos State. This is unacceptable and a wicked way of disenfranchising Lagos electorates.
.
“It is unimaginable that for the elections slated for Saturday Feb. 25, Lagos electorate will only vote for the Labour Party Presidential Candidate as INEC made no provision for the election of Party’s Senate and House of Representatives Candidates.
.
“We cannot accept this as we do not believe that INEC made a mistake but rather, a deliberate, malicious and intentional act by INEC at disenfranchising our Supporters from exercising their civic rights which is unacceptable,”
