The party’s state secretary, Mr Agbaje Abiodun, at a press briefing in Akure, the state capital on Friday said, “There is an omission of our party logo on the ballots brought by the Independent National Electoral Commission for the National Assembly (Senate and House of Representatives) elections.”

Abiodun threatened to challenge the action of INEC in court if it went ahead to conduct the election as scheduled without amendments.

The Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the Labour Party, Pastor Mrs. Dayo Ekong, decried the exclusion of the party’s National Assembly candidates on the ballot papers, calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to either correct what she described an “anomaly” or reschedule the elections.
