2023: Court stops INEC from using MC Oluomo to distribute electoral materials

Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court, Lagos, has granted the prayer of the Labour Party (LP) seeking an order to bar the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from using the chairman of the Lagos Parks and Garages, Musliu Akinsanya, better known as MC Oluomo from distributing election materials in Lagos.

Some political parties had initially raised objections to the idea.

Also, the Lagos INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun Agbaje had countered adding that the electoral umpire was entering into an agreement with individual transporters and not the union.

It has always been INEC tradition to engage transport unions in the country for logistic support during elections.
