The Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State on Thursday condemned INEC for omitting the party’s logo from the Senate and House of Representatives ballot papers ahead of Saturday’s general elections.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that INEC took delivery of sensitive materials for the presidential and national assembly elections scheduled for Saturday on Wednesday.At a news conference in Ikeja, Lagos State LP Chairperson Pastor Dayo Ekong called on 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 candidates of the Labour Party National Assembly from the ballot papers.Ekong called out INEC to either correct what she described as an anomaly or reschedule the National Assembly elections.
“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 the time of inspection that it was discovered that the Labour Party was not listed for the election for the Senate 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, the Lagos electorate will only vote for the Labour Party presidential candidate as INEC made no provision for the election of the party’s Senate and House of Representatives candidates.
