The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says the Labour Party (LP) has no ground to call for the sack of its Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, over the outcome of the 2023 general election in which the party fielded candidates, and won some elective positions.
The Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi stated this to newsmen, insisting that the reasons adduced by the LP in making the latest and familiar demand are not only illogical, but also ridiculous.
He said it is also not within the LP’s jurisdiction to demand for the dismissal and prosecution of the INEC Chairman, and it was strange that a political party that was in court challenging the outcome of the 2023 presidential election, could still go about openly discussing the matter at news conferences, knowing that such was subjudice.
Oyekanmi added that the party will do well by restricting itself to activities permitted under the rules and regulations governing the conduct of political parties
