Why INEC can’t reject Senate President, Lawan’s candidacy – Natl. Commissioner

has responded to the alleged discriminatory stance against the candidates nominated by some political parties for the 2023 general elections.

The names of the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan and a former minister of Niger Delta affair, Godswill Akpabio, who did not participate in the party’s senatorial primaries, reportedly made the list submitted to the INEC by the party. However, in what many considered a double standard, the Akwa-Ibom INEC REC, Mike Igini, declared the inclusion of Mr Akpabio on the list as null and void while Mr Lawan’s ‘emergence’ remains valid despite the continuous resistance of the actual winner, Mr Machina.

“INEC has no powers to reject names sent by political parties. Primaries are the sole prerogatives of parties. INEC’s responsibility is merely to monitor the primaries and make sure they abide by their own regulations, the Electoral Act & the Constitution.

In the first place, APC's NWC attitude in this respect is wrong, disdainful, and rascally. It has far reaching implication for the party! On INEC argument, I don't understand the type of law that says you cannot do the right thing.

ANIMAL FARM

Let the winner wait until the final list is submitted. Don't fall into their trap

Is Mr transparency sitting in Aso Rock not seeing this error? Anyway...
