Youths in Politics NG has called on the leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress to review the nomination process for the Lagos State House of Assembly, Eti-Osa Constituency I, following a complaint by one of the aspirants, John Akano.
The organisation made the call in a statement issued by its President, following a petition concerning the circumstances surrounding the party’s nomination exercise in the constituency.
According to the group, Akano claimed to have purchased the required expression of interest and nomination forms, completed the nomination process, obtained clearance to participate and mobilised supporters ahead of the party’s primary.
The organisation said the aspirant further alleged that after the primary was cancelled or not concluded, moves were made to present another individual who did not participate in the nomination process as the party’s candidate.
Youths in Politics NG said it reviewed information and materials presented in connection with the complaint and found sufficient grounds for a transparent review before any decision is taken that could affect the interests of qualified aspirants.
