The Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, has demanded for the dismissal of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, as well as his probe over his use of donor funds during the February 25, 2023, Election.
The Director General of the Campaign Council, Otunba Akin Osuntokun, made the request at a media briefing in Abuja, on Thursday.
According to him, the INEC chairman has done sufficient damage to the nation’s electoral process and should be made to answer for his actions.
He added that the arrest and ongoing prosecution of the Adamawa State Resident Electotal Commissioner for his actions during the last elections, should serve as a template for Yakubu’s prosecution because what the Adamawa State REC did was what the INEC Chairman did on a national scale.
Osuntokun noted that reports from all election observer groups at home and abroad were unanimous in their reports that the election was greatly floored and the outcome of the Presidential election as declared by INEC fell short of international standards.
