Governor of Oyo State, Engr Seyi Makinde on Tuesday asked the Independent National Electoral Commission to remove the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Ondo State, Mrs Oluwatoyin Babalola.
Makinde, while speaking during the campaign rally of the Peoples Democratic Party in Akure said Babalola is an indigene of Ondo town saying she cannot be a fair umpire in the Ondo governorship poll.
Makinde said what the INEC did in Edo state would be vehemently resisted in Ondo.
He said his message was to the chairman of INEC Prof Mahmoud Yakubu to immediately remove the REC saying the PDP would continue to protest until Babalola is removed.
