The Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State has declared its readiness to challenge the outcome of Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections in court.
The State’s LP Chairperson, Pastor Dayo Ekong, made the party’s position known during a press briefing in Lagos on Tuesday, describing the APC’s victory in the elections as momentary.
According to her, Saturday’s Governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state failed all democratic tests and the party was ready to seek redress.
Ekong said that the elections witnessed huge disruptions and violence against the party’s loyalists and agents.
The chairperson, who said that the election was devoid of credibility, expressed confidence that the judiciary would right the wrongs.
Ekong called on Nigerians, especially the youth that wanted a better country, not to give up.
The chairperson, however, said it was untrue that the party was instigating violence, saying LP would never instigate anyone, especially the youths it wanted a better future for, to go into illegality.
