APC on Onochie’s nomination: PDP members are commissioners in INEC

OCTOBER 16, 2020

The All Progressives Congress (APC) says Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members are commissioners of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).


The ruling party said this in response to the criticism that has trailed the nomination of Lauretta Onochie, a presidential aide, as a commissioner of the electoral umpire.

On Tuesday, Senate President Ahmad Lawan read a letter by President Muhammadu Buhari requesting the senate to confirm Onochie as an INEC commissioner.

But many have questioned her partisanship because she is a member of the APC.


In a statement on Friday, Yekini Nabena, APC deputy spokesman, said the concerns of partisanship are being raised by the PDP.

“President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Lauretta Onochie as a National Electoral Commissioner for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been subject to rash, subjective, misplaced and selective criticism by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and some interest groups,” Nabena said.

“Perhaps the PDP needs to be reminded that one of its card-carrying members, Dr. Johnson Alalibo is the current Edo State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC).


“Alalibo who was also a former Deputy Whip in the Bayelsa state house of assembly has been an electoral asset to the PDP but that is an issue to be addressed another day.”

The deputy APC spokesman asked the senate to ignore “PDP’s grandstanding, cheap blackmail, baseless and subjective allegations of partisanship it is sponsoring against Ms Onochie”.

”For the PDP, Ms Onochie’s capacity and effectiveness as a public servant and senior social media professional amounts to partisanship,” he said.

“Since public service now equates ‘partisanship’ we invite the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to equally fault appointment of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the current INEC Chairman who was the immediate-past Executive Secretary of the government’s Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) as well as the earlier stated Dr. Johnson Alalibo.”

“We equally invite the PDP to query the ‘unquestionable integrity’ of brazen PDP apologists such as Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee of INEC; Mike Igini, resident electoral commissioner (REC) for Akwa Ibom State, among others.

Dividends of bad governance will reach you soon then you will know well to avoid supporting evils or playing devil's advocate to destructive forces in your land.

Gen Buhari is morally corrupt and that is why is finding it hard to fight corruption and insecurity.

Amozever12:

What are u saying? The constitution says u shouldn't participate/ join or have anything to do with political party or politics in ur life, whether past or present?

Which section of the constitution?

Cantonese:
What! "Revalidated membership card"? At least you have acknowledged that she "was" an APC member.Have you not on your own established her membership, either presently or formerly?

This is the idiocy of anything APC or defending these people.It just makes them look more foolish when lamely attempting to defend their lies.

Minjim:


There is a difference btw being partisan and being a member of a party.

You can be partisan and not be a member of a political party.

The point is, she is partisan

And the Electoral Act clearly states that the position is not for, obviously, partisan people like her

Is there anybody of voting age in Nigeria that is not partisan? Johnson Alalibo and Festus Okoye were both cars carrying members of PDP before they were appointed to INEC and nobody raised any issue. So, why should Lauretta be treated differently?

See, you guys can cry and wail all you want and it won’t have any effect. She’s no longer a member of APC so you can force APC membership tag on her. If you have evidence that she’s still a card carrying member of the party, bring it out and stop disturbing everybody.

You mean she drop the membership position because she wanted to become Inec commissioner.

Because the report mentioned something about her name being on number 2 or 4 of APC membership registration document somewhere at Aniocha in Delta state.

She clearly stated that she left the party since 2019. What is most important is that she’s no longer a member of any party as at today. Did you guys raise any issue when PDP members were appointed into INEC?

She is not a member of APC period

@bold, I now understand you, this is one of the reasons the country will never move forward, because PDP did something’s that were wrong, it is also acceptable that APC should do theirs while in power.

Now tell me how we can change and start doing the right thing.

The truth is that INEC commissioners are not supposed to be core politicians, whether former or later, politicians are politician. We have schoolers that are still serving in their respective fields that are supposed to be appointed into INEC commissioners positions but rather we are appointing politicians and thinking anything good will come out of them. Am not saying schoolers are angel, but most of them are still far better than politicians.

No problem.

You’re both hilarious and delusional. You’re accusing PDP of not dropping to APC standard of politics of hatred and propaganda.

Instead of giving pdp credit for not stooping to the dirt level like apc did, you’re attacking them. What kind of reverse wisdom are you swinging? You have underlying mental issues. You should seek help.

You must stoop low in politics. If you're not ready, don't even think of being a politician

Politics its a game but propaganda and hate speech are off limits.

Everyone has a political idea thru support. But Loreta is a blatant supporter of Apc.
That's why her case is different

Whether she is a member of the APC or not the fact that she is an aide to the president alone rules her out of the running for such a delicate assignment

Why all these brouhaha about Onouchie selection, will she be the only politically biased Inec commissioner, what about Igini the master strategist of PDP electorial victories, or Justice Mary Odili, the PDP supreme protector at the apex court
