Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the recent pact signed between Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) on the movement of election materials before, during and after the polls.
In a press conference in Lagos on Thursday, the Lagos State chairman of the party, Dr. Adegbola Dominic said that the party would not accept the pact because it had been confirmed that NURTW was an arm of Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC), stressing that the admission and confession by the party’s spokes person in Lagos, Joe Igbokwe that NURTW members were card carrying members of APC had suggested that the election would not be credible if NURTW would be allowed to handle sensitive documents like election materials.
Dominic noted that the viral pictures showing NURTW members and APC supporters at elections in Ekiti and Osun states in an open relationship with the national leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu would attest to the suspicion expressed, and he consequently appealed to INEC to terminate the agreement and seek collaboration elsewhere.
