As the 2023 election approaches, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Lagos State, Olusegun Agbaje, has rubbished the allegation of partisanship being leveled against him by Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that in a recent statement by his Special Assistant (SA) on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said it was curious that Agbaje was insisting on using the Lagos State Park and Garage Management Committee, headed by transport kingpin, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, who he said was a member of the presidential campaign council of All Progressives Congress (APC).
Reacting, the Lagos REC told Punch in a report published on Saturday: “I don’t have any agreement with Oluomo, I don’t know Oluomo and I have never met him in my life. Whoever is saying that should come out and tell us more about it.
“So, anybody calling for my resignation is just wasting time. Nobody can distract me from doing my job.
“I am responsible to the INEC chairman and members of the committee in Abuja, so all these are just distractions.”
