Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to use Lagos State Parks Management Committee led by Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo to distribute election materials.<\/p>\n

National Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, had on Tuesday held a meeting with the leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW); Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) with the agreement that they would transport election officials and ballot papers to polling units on election day.<\/p>\n

The former Vice President in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, said to preserve the sanctity of this election and ensure that there is no room for electoral malpractice, INEC must ensure that MC Oluomo led group is not mobilized to move materials.<\/p>\n

Shaibu explained that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State had banned the NURTW because the national leadership of the union suspended MC Oluomo.<\/p>\n

He added that Sanwo-Olu had also banned RTEAN and then set up the Lagos State Parks Management Committee and appointed MC Oluomo the chairman so that he will have total control of the entire public commercial transport system of Lagos.<\/p>\n

The statement read \u201cIt has been brought to our attention that INEC will be using members of the NURTW, RTEAN and other registered unions to transport election materials and electoral officials and corps members on election day. Unfortunately, in Lagos State, there is no NURTW or RTEAN as they have been proscribed by Governor Sanwo-Olu.<\/p>\n

\u201cLagos is now operating a parks management committee led by MC Oluomo, who is a member of the Presidential Campaign Council. On October 9, 2022, he and his transport thugs held a march for Tinubu in several parts of Lagos State.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo preserve the sanctity of this election and ensure that there is no room for electoral malpractice, INEC must ensure that MC Oluomo is not allowed access to ballot papers. INEC should not make use of the state\u2019s park committee. Rather, the commission should reach out to the national leadership of the NURTW and or engage the services of any logistic company for the purpose of distributing sensitive electoral materials in Lagos State.\u201d<\/p>\n
