The Nigeria Labour Party has charged the Independent National Electoral Commission to postpone the upper and lower chamber election in Ondo state until the needful is done.
The Party says it remains undeterred as it urges its esteemed supporters to remain focused and stay away from unnecessary distraction, it will lawfully pursue the course until victory is ascertained.
According to Labour Party, its logo was deliberately omitted in the ballot paper sent to Ondo State for the Senate and House of Representative election just to disenfranchise its supporters.
The deliberate act by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is aimed at disenfranchising us.
On the 22nd of February 2023, Justice Inyang Ekwo of a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to accept the nomination of candidates of the Labour Party in 24 States.
The court further ordered that the commission must accept the list of senatorial and House of Representatives candidates particularly in Ondo State, either manually or through its electronic nomination portal.
Sadly, if an umpire could commit such an embarrassing gaffe, it is a testament to the calls by concerned Nigerians over INEC’s honesty in the February 25 general election.
