The party also noted that the state electoral law 2007 which the OGSIEC relief upon in section 5 (H) of its guidelines is inconsistent with the provision of the 1999 constitution.

The party insisted that introducing payment of nomination form by OGSIEC is fraudulent and void in the constitution of the country.

Speaking on the suit, the APM publicity secretary, Leke Kehinde in a statement made available to newsmen stressed that the Ogun state Electoral law signed by Gbenga Daniel contravened section 7(1) which provided for democratically elected local government.

He insisted that the OGSIEC is incompetent to prescribe conditions for the eligibility, qualifications and disqualifications of candidates to contest Local Government election in Lagos state.

He stressed that OGSIEC’s action is contradicting the section 7 (4) 106 and 107 of the constitution of federal Republic of Nigeria.

He also described the payment of forms prescribed by OGSIEC as unconstitutional and infringement on the constitutional section 7 (4) 106 and 107 of the constitution of federal Republic of Nigeria.
