Inadequate vehicles stall distribution of materials in parts of Lagos
Voters in some polling units in the Iba Local Council Development Area of Lagos are bemoaning the absence of INEC officials.
The Nation observed that despite the large turnout by the voters, the continuous absence of INEC officials is giving them concerns.
Some of them said they arrived at the polling unit as early as 7 am to exercise their civic duty.
They called on INEC to direct their officials to move to the designated polling units.
Efforts to speak with the INEC Electoral Officer in Ojo Local Government, Sodiq Ayinla, were unsuccessful.
His phone could not be reached.
However, The Nation learnt that there were no enough vehicles to move the materials and INEC officials to their polling units.
The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Friday perpetually restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from engaging the Lagos State Parks Management Committee, led by Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, a.k.a. MC Oluomo, for distributing 2023 election materials and personnel.
Justice Chukwuejekwu Aneke gave the order while delivering judgment in suit FHC/L/CS/271/2023 filed by three political parties and their gubernatorial candidates in Lagos State.
