The Lagos State Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) insists it will engage the Lagos State Parks Management Committee or any of its commercial bus drivers in the distribution of election materials for the February 25 and March 11 elections.
The Commission said this after a Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the electoral body not to work with the Lagos State Parks Management Committee, headed by the transport union leader, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, a loyalist to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Reacting to the court’s ruling, the Lagos INEC REC, Olusegun Agbaje, said he was not aware of the lawsuit as he hadn’t been served.

Agbaje insists that no one is dealing with MC Oluomo because the owners of the vehicles are at the local government level.
He maintained: “Nobody is dealing with Oluomo here.
“I said it several times. We are not dealing with Oluomo.
“The owners of the vehicles are at the local government level.
“Anybody who says we are dealing with Oluomo should provide the evidence.
“And we don’t have any problem with mobilisation in Lagos State.
