The Lagos State House of Assembly has issued a summons to the Chairman, Justice Bola Okikiolu-Ighile, and Commissioners of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC), demanding they appear before the House to provide detailed explanations regarding their plans and preparations for the upcoming local government elections scheduled for July.
During a plenary session on Thursday, concerns were raised by lawmakers regarding the perceived rushed nature of LASIECโs processes and the inadequacy of the released electoral guidelines.
Chairman, House Committee on Judiciary, Petitions, Human Rights and LASIEC, Oladipo Ajomale, voiced strong reservations, stating, LASIEC is just rushing the process.
โThe guidelines released are not comprehensive enough to address the concerns of the people regarding the election,โ he said. (Guardian)
