The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos
State, has kicked against the selection and
eventual confirmation of the four member-
commissioners of the Lagos State Independent
Electoral Commission, LASIEC.
The party berated Governor Akinwunmi Ambode
and the State House of Assembly for “nakedly
neglecting due process and flouting the state
Electoral Laws which prohibits members of
political parties from being part of LASIEC
composition.”
The PDP, in a statement issued on Tuesday by
its State Publicity Secretary, Taofik Gani, claimed
that the particular inclusion of Lateef Raji as
LASIEC Commissioner to conduct council polls in
Lagos State was an unequivocal resolve by the
Ambode administration to rig the proposed polls
in favour of his party, the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
“Lateef Raji has always been a card carrying
member of parties. From AD, which he acted as
chairman during the factionalisation, to being a
member of AC; ACN and now APC. He just
served as Special Assistant to former Governor
Babatunde Fashola.
“He presently has his posters and banners in
Lagos and Ondo States to contest the Ondo
governorship election. He is thus unfit and
improper to act as umpire in a contest which
APC will contest in,” the party said.According to PDP, the continuous retention of
Justice Fatai Adeyinka (retired) as LASIEC
chairman and now confirming Raji as LASIEC
commissioner is conclusive of APC and Ambode
as anti-democrats, despot and desperate to
control all the councils in the state.
“This is insulting the sensibilities of Lagos voters,
all well meaning persons must condemn this act.
The purported commissioner and the LASIEC
chairman must be removed to allow for
reasonably fair polls.
“If they are not removed, the APC can as well
continue to violate the political rights of
Lagosians to vote for their choice in a free and
fair election. They should continue in the illegal,
unconstitutional and fraudulent Local Councils
now headed by aberration Executive Secretaries.
“The PDP projects that the coming council polls
to be superintended by Governor Ambode is
obviously going to surpass the previous polls in
the acts of rigging and imposition. It would be
recalled that the last council polls results were
announced by LASIEC with no figures,” the party
said.
According to PDP, “the areas we won like
Badagry, Agbado-Oke Odo, Ikoyi-Obalende,
Somolu, and so on were hijacked by LASIEC
acting the script written by the former governor.
This may not be different.
“The PDP counsels the Ambode-led APC
government to prevent anarchy in the state by
doing the expedient, needful, which is
constituting a LASIEC that can conduct
manifestly free, fair, credible council polls.
