Gov Election 2023: Ogun NNPP to sue INEC for omitting party’s name

The governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party in Ogun State, Olufemi Ajadi, has vowed that the party will initiate legal actions against the Independent National Electoral Commission for omitting the party’s name on the ballot papers.

Ajadi who spoke shortly after he cast his votes at Ofada, in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state, expressed worry that only the party’s logo was on the ballot paper, but the name was conspicuously missing.

Ajadi said, “We can’t see security everywhere. In my polling unit, the APC gathered thugs to attack me. I’m so disappointed.

“They were dragging guns with my security. This is not an election.

“On the ballot paper, I can’t see my party, the NNPP. We wrote to INEC to make amendment after the initial election.

“Today, we can’t find our party’s name on the ballot paper, only the logo. It’s so disappointing.

“By the grace of God, we are going to court to challenge INEC on why our party’s name was omitted on the ballot paper.

Asked if he had confidence in INEC, he responded, “I don’t have confidence in INEC. They have disappointed Nigerians. It’s a total disappointment.”
