Breaking! MC Oluomo: Remove Lagos INEC REC, Now – Atiku Spits Fire

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately remove the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Lagos, Olusegun Agbaje.

In a statement on Wednesday by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku stated that Agbaje has shown partisanship and he is compromised.

He said it was curious that Agbaje had insisted on using the Lagos State Park and Garage Management Committee led by transport kingpin, Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo, who is a member of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council.

The former Vice President described as watery Agbaje’s excuse that INEC would not be able to use the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) because they had been barred in Lagos State.

He stated, “The law is clear that only a court has the power to proscribe an organisation. That was why the Federal Government had to go to court to proscribe the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN).

“What Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu did in Lagos State was to arbitrarily announce a ban on the activities of the NURTW because the organisation suspended MC Oluomo, the APC’s henchman. INEC must not promote illegality by working with a partisan organisation which is filled with APC members that are working for Bola Tinubu.

“How could such people be given sensitive materials to be distributed across Lagos on election day? This has already undermined the possibility of a free and fair election. INEC must sanction Mr. Agbaje for insisting on using MC Oluomo’s committee despite protests from members of the public.”
