The candidate of Labour Party (LP) Olumide Oworu has blamed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for his name not appearing on the ballot.
He released a press statement, blamed INEC for his name not appearing on the ballot, last Saturday, and insists that it wasn’t for clout.
Olumide Oworu wrote, "Regarding the authenticity of my candidacy and my name not appearing on the ballot, that is a situation that came about due to the failure of the INEC to comply with the subsisting judgment of the Federal High Court delivered on the 2nd of February 2023 in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/2115/2022 wherein INEC was ordered to open her website to allow the labour party to submit the list of her candidates or accept the same manually immediately. INEC failed to upload the names on the list sent by the Labour Party in October 2022. I assure you that this endeavour was not one for clout but was borne out of a genuine desire for change."
