Lagos ACN Rejects Move To Conduct Election in Lagos on Separate Date- By Joe Igbokwe,source: Sahara reporters


The Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria has rejected alleged moves by INEC to shift the coming National Assembly election in Lagos State and few other states. The party sees this as just one of the desperate moves with which the PDP wants to steal the state and says that the people of Lagos will not accept this ludicrous change, no matter what informed it.
In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the ACN, Joe Igbokwe, the party says that since INEC has decided not to accept the suggestion of staggered elections, which it had earlier advanced, it should be ready to conduct elections at the same time in all parts of the country. It says that INEC should know that the exposed ballots pose serious danger to the integrity of the elections and should have been expected to change the ballot papers instead of hoping to still use the ones for last Saturday’s botched election.
“We were taken aback by the position of INEC, which is not quite different from the plans of the PDP to do everything possible to ensure that Lagos is stolen and for this, they are planning to ensure that the polls as well as the peace of Lagos are sufficiently disrupted to force a state of crisis and confusion. We are aware of plans to import all manners of thugs, mercenary voters and hoodlums into Lagos for the dual purpose of either manipulating the elections in Lagos or ensure the entire state is thrown into one huge ball of confusion
