The governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Ogun State, Olufemi Ajadi, has vowed to initiate legal action against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for omitting his party’s name from the ballot papers. Speaking shortly after casting his vote in Ofada, located in the Obafemi‑Owode Local Government Area, Ajadi expressed concern that only the NNPP logo appeared on the ballot, while the party’s name was conspicuously missing.
Ajadi recounted incidents of intimidation at his polling unit, saying, “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.” He added, “We wrote to INEC to request an amendment after the initial election, but today we can’t find our party’s name on the ballot paper, only the logo. It’s so disappointing.”
He affirmed that, “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.” When asked whether he had confidence in INEC, Ajadi responded, “I don’t have confidence in INEC. They have disappointed Nigerians. It’s a total disappointment.”
