Inec Error Could Hand Tinubu Victory by qblaze(m): 2:34pm On Apr 09, 2011

Remi Tinubu is poised to win the Lagos Central Senatorial race after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) failed to include the name of Dapo Durosinmi-Etti the Labour Party’s candidate on the ballot. A former member of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Mr Durosinmi-Etti was Mrs Tinubu’s major rival and had the support of the Lagos Rescue Team, a group of aggrieved former party members who were displeased by the manner of Mrs Tinubu’s emergence as the party’s standard bearer.

They had accused Bola Tinubu, the former Lagos Governor and ACN supremo of imposing his wife on the party. The group then defected to the Labour Party and launched a text message campaign against the Tinubus while imploring the electorate to break their vice-like grip on the party. Mrs Tinubu immediately ramped up her campaign commissioning new adverts and launching her own text campaign.

The omission is surely going to set tongues wagging about INEC’s competence and the possibility of Mr Tinubu’s influence on the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner as Mr Durosinmi-Etti had called a press conference on Monday to point out the error. While INEC rescheduled elections in states where the logo of the Congress of the Progressive Change (CPC) were omitted, the agency strangely allowed the Lagos Central senatorial election to to go on. A member of the Lagos Rescue Team said that the party would seek to nullify the election in court.

That will be terrible. Going by the electoral law, it's automatic cancellation.

No cause for alarm, cos its impossible to allow such an election. No need of tinubu rejoicing now.

Thank God, God is great. God uses what seems foolish to disgrace mighty people. If the if this thread is true it is just a pity. Despite the fact that Durisinmi Etti complained, Inec still went ahead with this avoidable error.
This is an automatic cancellation of the election, the election is a total nulity, null and void and of no effect. Remi would have won but thank God for Inec error, in the rerun the entire Lagos will relocate to Lagos Central to guarantee the demistification of oga tinubu. I will personally lead a massive online caqmpaign for Durosinmi Etti.
Lagos is not for Tinubu
