While the Labour Party and five other parties’ lawsuit is being heard and decided, Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission not to use the services of Musiliu Akinsanya, better known as MC Oluomo, chairman of the Lagos State Parks Management Committee, to distribute election materials in the state.
The court granted an interlocutory injunction restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission of Nigeria from taking any steps or further steps in furtherance of the appointment of Musiliu Akinsanya, MC Oluomo-led Lagos State Parks Management Committee, or commercial bus drivers to distribute 2023 election materials and personnel.
INEC in Lagos State has responded to MC Oluomo’s letter asking for distribution of materials by engaging parks managers in the state, rather than Oluomo. This is due to the Lagos State government banning the operations of NURTW and RTEAN, leaving the commission with Lagos State Park and Garages and NARTO.
We are not dealing with MC Oluomo, we are dealing with park managers, and the law has already banned NURTW.
