Fear of OmoBarca: LASIEC omits Labour Party logo on Ajeromi-Ifelodun ballots

By Naomisophysblog

The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) has come under scrutiny over allegations that the Labour Party’s logo was removed from ballot papers in the Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government election, sparking public concern and accusations of political bias.

Voters and political stakeholders shared images on social media showing ballot papers listing only the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with no Labour Party (LP) symbol visible. One voter posted on X, “No Labour Party on the ballot box at Ajeromi Ifelodun,” prompting widespread speculation that the party was being deliberately excluded.

LASIEC Chairperson Justice Mobolanle Okikiolu Ighile maintained that no party was barred from participation in the elections, stating that the commission recognized only the INEC-approved LP faction led by Dayo Ekong. She affirmed that LASIEC was operating under court directives and in compliance with party recognition protocol.

However, the Lagos State Labour Party Publicity Secretary, Barrister Adeola Onikoyi, accused LASIEC of connivance with APC to compromise the LG polls.

“The Labour Party fielded candidates for the local government election in Ajeromi Ifelodun, but LASIEC being compromised only indicated APC and PDP on the ballot papers. They are scared of the Labour Party winning this election. At no time did Pastor Dayo Ekong ask INEC to omit the Labour Party logo because we have candidates contesting the election.

LASIEC is afraid of OmoBarca’s popularity. We shall meet LASIEC in court for conducting the election without the Labour Party logo. APC, in their usual mischief, connived with LASIEC to deny voters their right to vote. We call for the cancellation of the sham LG election that took place yesterday.” Onikoyi said.

Political analysts note that the absence of LP branding from certain ballots is not unusual where the party has chosen not to field candidates. The confusion arose due to the prominence of LP in previous elections, leading many voters to assume it would have universal participation across all wards and councils.

Prominent Labour Party chieftain in the Ajeromi-Ifelodun federal constituency, Hon. Francis Barthlomew Chima, aka OmoBarca, has condemned the disenfranchisement of the vast majority of Labour Party voters during the recent polls.

They will run you street in 2027. Tinubu will appoint a new INEC chairman this year. I hope it's not one of his boyz cos Maurice Iwu may become a saint overnight.

I just hope Nigeria returns to parliamentary system of government. All this money wasting on campaign would reduce

Well all tribes in Nigeria are suspicious of the others and are becoming conservative for self-preservation in Nigeria. You don't have that monopoly.

Go figure.

Abi o my Osuruike brother

APC hates Peter Obi and LP more than they hate PDP and Atiku.

APC is a party of bullies and has confirmed that they are worse than PDP and Tyranny.

They are not democrats, and have continued to destroy democratic opposition in order to weaken democracy.

This is why the Canadian government see them as terrorists.

Opposition should also write to the USA to have APC politicians dealt with heavily..

As opposition, APC and Lai mohammed wrote severally to the USA and UK to have GEJ's government frustrated by Obama and the UK prime minister.

Serve them their own bitter pill.
