Two opposition political parties, Action Alliance (AA) and Action Peoples Party (APP), have opposed the call by the Labour Party through the Director General of the defunct Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign, Mr. Akin Osuntokun, calling for the resignation of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu.

In two separate statements to journalists both parties urged the Labour Party to refrain from what they described as needlessly stirring up of the public against the Independent National Electoral Commission.

In a statement on Thursday night, Barrister Kenneth Udeze, the National Chairman of Action Alliance (AA) said the labour party has resorted to mud slinging the INEC boss having failed to establish its case at Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

According to Udeze, the Labour Party and its public facing organs are seeking to it is reforms introduced by INEC that litigants are relying on to present their cases at various election petition tribunals across the nation

“Assuming without conceding, the elections were manipulated, the Labour Party can only prove its case using the instrumentality of the innovations promoted and defended by the INEC chairman. It beggars belief that while relying on innovations introduced by the INEC chairman, the party still castigates him and seeks to hound him,”

He said it is without a doubt that INEC under the leadership of Mahmood has introduced the most far-reaching innovations to improve the electoral process in Nigeria.

Also, the Action Peoples Party (APP) in a separate statement said It is unfortunate that INEC has become an easily available punching bag at whom the political class targets to manipulate the system or at whom the political class targets its angst.

The statement signed by Barrister Uche Nnadi, the Party’s acting National Chairman asked the Labour Party to await the PEPT decision and refrain from needlessly stirring up the Nigerian public against an outstanding public servant because of their easily predicted loss at the election.”

He said, “It is on record that the political class stood by while INEC facilities were targeted and attacked in the build-up to the elections. For instance, INEC facilities in the South East were constantly attacked & equipment destroyed with little or no comments from people such as Mr. Osuntokun.

“We will be the first to admit that there were a few cases where politicians induced INEC staff to manipulate the process. However, it is on record that where these cases have been established, the Commission has demonstrated a commitment to prosecuting the perpetrators of these acts.”
