On Saturday, after the postponement of the 2019 Presidential and Federal Assembly elections, the electoral umpire INEC announced that all open campaign remains banned.

However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) opposed this as they encouraged their members to keep campaigning for their candidates of choice.

As a result of this, the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) has decide to meet today to reconsider the ban on electioneering campaign during the one week extension of poll.

INEC, according to its national chairman’s Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr. Rotimi Oyekanmi, would meet to review its position and decide whether or not to reopen campaigns.

The two leading parties have argued that the commission’s restriction has no basis in law.

The PDP also alleged that fresh facts have confirmed that officials of the federal government and the APC have been sabotaging INEC in a well-orchestrated plot to engineer staggered presidential election, contrary to simulated stance by the presidency and the party’s National Chairman, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole.
