Labour Party Calls For Sacking Of Electoral Commission, INEC Chairman Over Votes Selling To Highest Bidder

Kenneth Okonkwo, one of the Labour Party’s Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) spokespersons has called for the sacking of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, over the conduct and outcome of the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections.

Calling for the INEC Chairman’s removal in a statement on his Twitter page on Wednesday, Okonkwo who is also a Nollywood actor, demanded to know why INEC hurriedly announced the results of the elections, noting that the commission had still not uploaded all the results on its result viewing portal – IREV, 11 days after the elections.

Okonkwo argued that since INEC has not fully uploaded the results of the presidential and national assembly elections on IReV portal, it is obvious that the elections have not ended, hence, there was no need to have announced the ‘winners’.
