Osuntokun said that this was because Oluomo had always been known to be a party loyalist therefore, it would be controversial for INEC to entrust the conveyance of election materials into the hands of agents of an interested political party in Lagos .
“Speculation and rumuors emerged that INEC had engaged the services of Lagos State Park and Garage Management Committee, led by Mr Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo , a member of the APC PCC in the distribution of sensitive election materials in the forthcoming presidential election in Lagos.
“We initially took the allegation with a pinch of salt, believing that INEC was conscious of red lines in these elections and that common sense and logic would not permit such arbitrariness.
“However, as days passed by, it became clear to us, that the news report was correct, especially as the explanation given by Mr Festus Okoye INEC Director of Information and Voter Education, does not go far enough in refuting this association,” he said.
Osuntokun added: “Our fears are indeed reinforced by the recent action of INEC in endorsing , via their official Twitter handle, a tweet, wherein the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, was maligned by another Presidential candidate.”
He said that in the light of the above,INEC should reconsider using Oluomo since the people have raised issues against him.
“We wish to remind INEC that this a very important election, in which the people have not only demonstrated so much participatory interest, but also the will to ensure that things are done right,” he said.
Osuntokun said LP would continue to toe the path of propriety, discipline and fair play, but would also remain unwavering in insisting on a truly free and fair election.
“We call on the Inspector General of Police, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, the Department of State Services, the Civil Defence Force and all security agencies, to deploy intelligence and reinforcements all over Lagos.
“It should also extend to all other potential flashpoint and locations across the country, immediately, as the election season is already underway.
“These dastardly acts must be checked and the perpetrators and their sponsors arrested forthwith.
Osuntokun urged LP supporters and all people of goodwill in Lagos to continue their preparations and participation in the election , while taking all precautions with regard to their safety.
