Actor Olumide Oworu Breaks His Silence After House Of Assembly Election

Actor Olumide Oworu has broken his silence after his name was excluded in the Saturday, March 18, election for the Surulere Constituency of the Lagos state House of Assembly, which was won by actor, Desmond Elliott, IGBERETV reports.

In a statement released, Olumide insisted his participation in the election exercise was not for clout. With regards to his name not being on the ballot paper on the day of the election, Olumide stated that INEC failed to obey a court order issued on February 2, directing the commission to open its website for Labour party to submit the names of its candidates or accept the manual submission. He added that INEC failed to upload the names on the list sent by the Labour Party in October 2022.

He wrote:

‘’Regarding the authenticity of my candidacy and my name not appearing on the ballot, that is a situation that came about due to the failure of the INEC to comply with the subsisting judgment of the Federal High Court delivered on the 2nd of February 2023 in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/2115/2022 wherein INEC was ordered to open her website to allow the labour party to submit the list of her candidates or accept the same manually immediately. INEC failed to upload the names on the list sent by the Labour Party in October 2022. I assure you that this endeavour was not one for clout but was borne out of a genuine desire for change.''

Oya, go Court! 🤣

Eeyah

Labour Party primaries was a mess.

After Obi got in and opened the door to other failures from PDP, the party became confused on whether to go with loyal party members of many years or ticket hunters.

Olumide was a ticket hunter just like Obi.

Labour party is just a movie

K

just because he had Igbos as supporters his name was excluded from the list😳😳yoruba hatred For Igbos will consume them.

I ask again, yorubas why hate Igbos that you even decide to throw your baby with the water

.

Nigeria is not yet ready for democracy. Democracy breeds and harbour corrupt individuals and institutions.

Communism will be there best.

LoL

Igbos have 0 organization, they lack proper coordination. I am not surprised - Good luck boy
