Presidential Polls: Labour Party, INEC Set For Showdown Over Access To Election Materials CoverStories
The Labour Party, in a statement issued yesterday and signed by its general spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, said the nationwide protest at INEC offices would curtail the commission’s flagrant disobedience of court orders.
“We, therefore, want to state that we will not fail to call our supporters to march to INEC offices nationwide in a non-violent protest which is allowed by law”. “We,, therefore call on the general public to note the level of lawlessness and brazen disobedience to a lawful order of a court by an important statutory agency such as INEC, which is a well-calculated attempt to undermine and frustrate the presentation of the Petition by the Labour Party and its Presidential candidate before the tribunal in good time,” Yunusa added.
Yunusa continued: “Not minding the service of the said Order on INEC, and a reminder letter dated the 6th day of March 2023 and delivered the same date at the INEC Headquarters Abuja, the electoral umpire has continued to ignore and or disobey the valid Order of such magnitude till NOW.“It should be noted that in a democracy like ours, rule of law must triumph not only in our legal system but also in our body polity as a whole.
“The future of our democracy is sacred and sacrosanct. Let’s come together and secure our future and that of unborn children,” he said. “Much has been said about youth takeover, tomorrow belongs to the youth, youth are the leaders of tomorrow and so on.
