The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been accused by the Labour Party (LP) campaign of preventing Peter Obi, the party’s standard bearer, from accessing election materials.
According to TheCable, the court of appeal granted Obi permission to access all sensitive materials used by INEC, but INEC requested that the order be varied because the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) needed to be reprogrammed before the governorship and state assembly polls.
Yunusa Tanko, the LP campaign spokesperson, referred to INEC’s move as “an act of judicial insubordination” in a statement released on Friday.
The LP campaign accused INEC of deliberately disobeying a court order to frustrate the presentation of their petition and threatened to call for a non-violent protest at INEC offices nationwide to curtail INEC’s flagrant disobedience of court orders.
