The Labour Party, LP, has demanded that Olusegun Agbaje, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Lagos State, be removed.
The party urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to do so before the February 25 general elections.
Kenneth Okonkwo, a spokesperson for the Peter Obi Campaign Organisation, made the statement on Twitter on Monday.

“If Prof Mahmood Yakubu doesn’t sack Olusegun Agbaje now, then Nigerians must realise that Prof Mahmood has decided to rig the election of 2023 in favour of APC,” he tweeted.
Okonkwo accused Agbaje of referring to South-East Africans living in Lagos as immigrants in their country.
He said the REC refused Igbos the collection of their Permanent Voter’s Cards, PVCs, “while foreigners from Niger Republic, Chad, etc were issued PVCs and NINs in El-Kaduna Rufai’s State”.
“Nigerians have lost trust in any election that will be administered by this ethnic and confused bigot,” the Nollywood veteran said.
Okonkwo said Agbaje is “suffering from impaired reasoning like the principal he is working for who has commanded his followers to snatch power at all costs”.

The LP boss also urged Nigerians to demand that the right thing be done, “beginning with the dismissal of Olusegun Agbaje.”
Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, urged INEC last week to remove Agbaje.
