Wooow. That means VOP, PDM, and other parties registered after APC won't contest as well? That leaves us with PDP, ANPP, AGPA, LP. Hmmm alright. |

By Bassey Inyang, Correspondent, Calabar The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the Cross River State Independent Electoral Commission (CROSIEC) cannot disqualify any of its candidates for the September 21, 2013 local government elections on the basis of what the party described as illegal charges imposed by the electoral body on candidates running the election. The APC said such charges are illegal and unconstitutional null and void as far as the Nigerian constitution and various court judgments are concerned. Speaking on Saturday to Sunday Independent, one of the leaders of APC in the state, and former ACN chairman Hilliard Eta, said: “There is a Supreme Court judgment which states that when you present a candidate for election to the electoral body, it is only a competent court of law that can disqualify that candidate from contesting the election for which the person’s name was submitted. “Even at the worst case scenario, I can tell you that the CROSIEC cannot disqualify anyone. If they disqualify anyone, we will take them to court; up to the Supreme Court, let them go and defend what they have done.” “In the letter we wrote when we were in ACN to the CROSIEC chairman, we told him: “look the CROSIEC is not, and has not been made a revenue yielding department of government. In 2002, Gani Fawehinmi took the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to court and he won the case at the Supreme Court where it was interpreted in judgment that since INEC is not a revenue yielding department of government, it cannot charge a dime. That is why INEC does not charge even the presidential candidates.” And we told the chairman that even given your law that says that councillorship candidates can pay N5,000 and N10,000 ,we can actually say we don’t have the money , but you will not disqualify us. You have to take us to court. CROSIEC must take those candidates to court for not paying the N5, 000 or N10,000. But, they cannot disqualify us or our candidates.” http://www.dailyindependentnig.com/2013/08/criver-council-polls-crosiec-cannot-disqualify-our-candidates-says-apc/ |

APC should concentrate more in enlisting more members especially in the South South for now before the next general election. LG elections are nothing but a charade with the state gov't fully incharge right from the personnel of the commissions. 2 Likes |

This is a clear fact in the law. Or will they like to contest it in court? Or bribe national assembly\house to apply some doctrine of necesity. Nothing much to say. But i will be here waiting for these GEj Laptop boys to come and drop shit like"APC is a total failure". Or some tribal bigot say"amaechi plot to sell us to the northerners have failed". |

CROSIEC is not the same as INEC. when I saw the Words INEC and local government polls I had to open this thread to read. CROSIEC is a state owned electoral management body and they are incharge of conducting LGA elections in the state. In the same manner they have ANSIEC Anambra state electoral commission and so on for other states. INEC was stopped from conducting LGA elections in the country sometime around 1999. Therefore INEC has no constitutional powers to interfere with LG polls except as observers. |

The law says they cannot contest and even if they did, they'd lose woefully. CROSIEC is only trying to spare their blushes. |
