INEC To Sanction Jonathan, Atiku, Others For Early Campaign by remspotng: 2:04am On Oct 02, 2014
INEC - The Independent National Electoral Commission has threatened to sanction political parties, aspirants and organisations who are currently defying the country’s electoral law by organizing early campaigns.
A statement signed by INEC’s secretary, Augusta Ogakwu reads in parts:

“Henceforth, (INEC) would take necessary action against such associations, corporate bodies, individuals, political parties, media or such communication agencies, social media, candidates or aspirants who contravene the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (As amended) and/or Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) on public campaign/rally and procession. Section 99 (1) of the Electoral Act 2010 (As Amended) says, “For the purpose of this Act, the period of campaigning in public by every political party shall commence 90 days before polling day and end 24 hours prior to that day.”
“Relevant extracts of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) have since been reproduced and circulated by the commission at public places, to media outfits, the Ministry of Information, National Orientation Agency, NOA, National Communication Commission, NCC, Head-quarters of Inter-party Advisory Council, IPAC, Headquarters of State, FCT, Local Government Area offices of INEC and the Federal Ministry of Environment for their information and proper guidance.”
