LAGOS \u2013 LABOUR Party, LP, yesterday, held a peaceful protest at the Lagos office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, over the removal of its logo and name of its House of Representatives candidate in the Ikorodu Federal Constituency in the botched National Assembly election.<\/p>\n

The protesters who displayed placards with various inscriptions such as \u2018include Labour Party in INEC ballot paper\u2019, \u2018No to electoral injustice\u2019 among others said that apart from the missing of party\u2019s logo in the ballot papers, the name of the party\u2019s House of Representatives candidate in the Ikorodu Federal Constituency, Hon Adesina Osikoya, was also excluded from the INEC list.<\/p>\n

They alleged that list of qualified and accredited candidates the party obtained from INEC office was different from what the commission\u2019s officials were working with in Ikorodu area, stressing: \u201cWe were surprised to see another list that morning without Hon Adesina Osikoya in that list.<\/p>\n

We are surprised because his name was in the original list and even in the INEC website as one of those qualified to contest for the elections and nobody has disqualified him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spokesperson of the group, Bello Bolaji, described the sudden disappearance of Osikoya\u2019s name and that of party\u2019s logo as electoral injustice and called on the electoral body to rectify the list as soon as possible if election must hold in Ikorodu constituency.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the party has supported the postponement of National Assembly election to April 9, describing the move as best thing to do in that circumstance.<\/p>\n
