The leadership of the Labour Party has threatened to hit the streets in protest against the refusal by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to allow the party to inspect the materials used for the 2023 presidential election.
Tribune reports that Kachi Ononuju, the special adviser of the Labour Party on public affairs, said the party would have no option but to resort to protest should INEC fail to obey court order on issues relating to the just concluded presidential poll.

Ononuju also noted that the party has gone beyond being a political party to playing the role of a civil rights group protecting the people's rights, especially on governance and political issues.

“If they don’t want to respect the vote, we will turn it into a civil rights movement. I’m telling you this.”
Plot to announce election winner even before the presidential poll
He further stated that there were deliberate plans to announce a presidential election winner even before the electoral body conducted the poll.
Ononuju said that with the permission granted to INEC by the court to reconfigure the BVAS and allegedly tamper with evidence, getting a judgement will be a monumental task.
He said:
“So, we might sometimes allow the streets also to tell judges because at times, Judges don’t see the streets very wild and hot, they may not behave. But we are taking them gradually.
"We don’t want anybody to point out that we are part and parcel of any insurrection. We will not make that mistake."
