The Labour Party, LP, has called for the removal of Olusegun Agbaje, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Lagos State.
The party urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to do so before the general elections starting on February 25.
A spokesperson for Peter Obi Campaign Organisation, Kenneth Okonkwo made the demand in a Twitter post on Monday.
âIf Prof Mahmood Yakubu doesnât sack Olusegun Agbaje now, then Nigerians must realise that Prof Mahmood has decided to rig the election of 2023 in favour of APC,â he tweeted.
Okonkwo accused Agbaje of referring to the people of South-East origin based in Lagos as immigrants in their country.
He said the REC denied Igbos the collection of their Permanent Voterâs Cards, PVCs, âwhile foreigners from Niger Republic, Chad, etc were given PVCs and NINs in El-Rufaiâs Kaduna Stateâ.
The Nollywood veteran stated that âNigerians have lost confidence in any election that will be conducted by this ethnic and confused bigotâ.
Okonkwo said Agbaje is âsuffering from impaired reasoning like the principal he is working for who has commanded his followers to snatch power at all costsâ.
The LP chieftain further charged Nigerians to insist the right thing is done âstarting with the firing of Olusegun Agbaje
