Averehi gave the warning in a statement sent to journalists on Monday in Lokoja.

 
The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) has been warned that its refusal to adher to the court order allowing its lawyers to inspect the electoral materials used in the February 25 presidential election is a call for anarchy.
 
Daily Post reported that a Chieftain of the Labour Party in Kogi State, Bayo Averehi gave the warning in a statement sent to journalists on Monday in Lokoja.
 
The former Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Governorship aspirant in Kogi State explained that INEC was established by the laws of the country and must be subjected to the supremacy of the court of the land.
 
While noting that the electoral umpire is supposed to be unbiased and must be compelled to obey court orders to avert chaos in the country, Averehi maintained that it is preposterous for any individual, institution or organization to cherry-pick which court order to obey and not to obey.
 
“Existence in the state of nature is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short” (Thomas Hobbes -Leviathan 1966). This informs the importance of lawful government and institutions in a sane society. The youth and masses of this Country believe in the “Rule of Law” and also a belief that the Judiciary is the last hope of the common man, as such did not resort to self-help after the unprecedented and monumental disappointment gotten from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a result of the alleged election malpractices and massive rigging recorded in the just concluded Presidential election but have decided to approach the Court to seek justice.

“Anarchy is triggered when institutions established by law disregard the rule of law and ostentatiously disobey court orders and rulings, like the INEC is presently doing in the extant case where the court has granted the Labour Party and its presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi an order to inspect the electoral materials used for the just concluded presidential election. But INEC has bluntly refused to obey the order of the court, rather it decided to go ahead with the second order of the court to reconfigure the BVAS machine” he lamented.
