The Labour Party, LP has alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC is plotting to stall election tribunal proceedings at the Court of Appeal.
The party made this allegation in a statement titled, “Open Letter To Inec Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu By The Leadership Of Labour Party On The Show Of Infamy And Dishonour By The Commission In Election Appeal Holding In Lagos,” signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.
“We are therefore using this platform to urge you to investigate the inglorious roles which the legal department of the commission is playing and sanction erring officials. The role of INEC in this matter is simply to defend the outcome of the election which it conducted and on which it declared Hon. Amobi Ogah as the duly-elected candidate to represent Isikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency in the National Assembly.
“However, these feats have been seriously threatened by the recent developments and outcome from the various tribunals. Some of these victories by the Labour Party were overturned albeit unconstitutionally. The party had sometimes in September lamented the sledge hammer policy against the Labour Party and its members, and had appealed that the judiciary should be partners in sustaining the fledgling democracy by always ensuring that it stands on the altar of justice.
