“Earlier, the political parties had requested for a 37 – 60 days extension of the timeline for primaries and the nomination of candidates. The Commission was emphatic that this request could not be granted because it would disrupt other scheduled activities on the Timetable. This position of the Commission has not changed”, said Barr. Festus Okoye, INEC National Commissioner in charge of Information and Voter Education Committee.

He said that based on the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2023 General Election, the parties have now pleaded with the Commission to use the 6-day period between 4th and 9th June 2022 to conclude outstanding primaries and prepare to upload the list of candidates and their affidavits on the INEC Candidates Nomination Portal.

“The Commission did not schedule any specific activity during this period. The idea is to simply give parties time to compile the list and personal particulars of their nominated candidates before uploading the same to the INEC Candidates Nomination Portal from 10th – 17th June 2022.

“The Commission has decided to allow the request of the political parties since the six-day period does not conflict with the next scheduled activity which is the submission of the list of nominated candidates or any of the subsequent timelines which remain sacrosanct. However, this request is granted in respect of outstanding primaries only without prejudice to those already concluded by political parties. The Commission will not monitor already concluded primaries”, he stated.

After the conduct of primaries, INEC said the next critical activity for political parties is the online submission of the list of the candidates the party proposes to sponsor which shall be accompanied by an affidavit sworn to by the candidates indicating that they fulfilled all the constitutional requirements for election into the various offices via the INEC Candidates Nomination Portal.

“In addition, the Commission, based on past experience, has decided to train the political party officials to make efficient and effective use of the portal. The Commission will train four officials from each of the 18 political parties, making a total of 72 in all.

“Unfortunately, some of the political parties are still yet to submit their nominees for the training. The Commission hereby reminds such parties to do so immediately. The Commission wishes to reiterate that only electronically submitted nominations will be processed.

“Political parties are therefore advised to ensure that their primaries are free of rancour in order to meet the timelines for the remaining activities embodied in the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2023 General Election”, he stated.

Now APC shift your primary to 4th of July

Before anybody start wailing bitterly, it won't prevent Buhari from handing over power on May 29 2023.

But is there really a need for it?

Confused idiots.

Nonsense

Sigh!

It appears "some people "are not ready for Primaries.

As much as this is an interesting season,it just re-enforces my belief that Nigeria cannot get better, atleast not anytime soon.

Sad reality!

Jonathan must be on the ballot.

Non-stop nonsense

Why are they hell bent on giving Tinubu a heart attack?

Osibanjo is our incoming president.

Unserious people

More opportunities for the delegates to cash out the more from desperate politicians.

Come to think of it, even JAMB refused flatly to extend the UTME registration and exam date for candidates.

But see how politicians dey push INEC back and forth. After six days comes another six days.

Last last we will see what they're cooking.

Now this is getting crazily boring. Huh.

Hmmmmmm
Just look at how political parties are bullying INEC

The name should be change from Independent National Electoral commission to
Dependent National Electoral Commission cos it has never been independent

Double post

Cabals making final plans to stop Tinubu.

Allows Time for buhari and his anointed adamu abdullahi to tweak the screening process and slot in Goodluck ebele Jonathan as the consensus candidate, I can't wait to here the cries of the BAT or swagger group or whatever they call themselves

All this for Jonathan? Confused people....

Not bad....but unnecessary....Buhari fit return from equatorial guinea now come sign the electoral act for confusion promax

Fine.

Not bad... 6 days is within the schedule date...

Gandollaar:
Jonathan must be on the ballot.

Las las, wetin go be go be

The way the.primaries were conducted by political parties and INEC is a clear indication of our unpreparedness, unseriousness and laziness as a nation, it takes four year to get here, why all the messing up.

CORRECTION: INEC did NOT extend the schedule of the elections. But it has extended the deadline for party primaries by six days.

All other scheduled activities on the INEC Timetable remain the same.

FAKE NEWS. INEC DID NOT CHANGE ELECTION TIME TABLE IF YOU CAN READ AND COMPREHEND ENGLISH.

6 days is still better than 2 months I read earlier here.Nigerians have been waiting since for these primaries and to extend over a month would have sent bad signals to everyone.

Anything to disgrace the Chicago drug baron pee pee,

Im ok with it. Anything that will make the pee pee Chicago drug convict to weep im ok with it.

Tinubu will never be Nigeria president
