The Independent National Electoral
Commission has rejected the governorship
candidates of seven parties.
The parties and the states affected
according to the commission, are the
Peoples Party of Nigeria in Delta State;
Labour Party in Niger State; the New
Nigeria Peoples Party in Ogun State; and
the Unity Party of Nigeria in Oyo State.
Others are the United Democratic Party in
Rivers State; and the Peoples Democratic
Movement in Sokoto and Zamfara states.
No reason was given by the commission
for the action, which was made known via
its bulletin. The commission did not also
give the names of the affected candidates.
In a decision extract issued and signed by
the Director (Commission’s Secretariat), Mr.
Ishiaku Gali, INEC also approved that the
only candidate for the House of
Representatives in Ado/Opoku/Ogbadibo
Federal Constituency of Benue State, be
declared elected on the day of the election
by the Returning Officer.
INEC hinged its decision on the provision of
Section 41 (1) of the Electoral Act 2010 (as
amended) which provides that, “If after the
expiration of time for delivering of
nomination papers, withdrawal of
candidates and the extension of time as
provided for in this Act there is only one
person whose name is validly nominated in
respect of an election, other than to the
office of the President or Governor, that
person shall be declared elected.”
Consequently, the candidate, Mr. Christian
Abah, of the Peoples Democratic Party,
being the only contestant in the
constituency has been declared the winner
without election.
Aged 50, Abah has a General Certificate of
Education after attending a college of
education. www.punchng.com/news/inec-rejects-seven-gov-candidates/
