Pacesetter123:

He said so by his actions.
Why did he rather go to the Sheargrace arena to monitor the primaries conducted by Sen. Udoedehe's faction under the chairmanship of Austin Ekanem instead of Ekpo Obot, venue for the primaries conducted by Akpabio's faction led by Chief Stephen Ntukekpo which is recognized by the NWC and the court of law.
That primaries produced Obong Akan Udofia as the authentic gurber candidate.
So, for Igini to come out to say that APC doesn't have guber candidate because he did not monitor the election is absolute trash.

Answer these questions:

1. Whose responsibility is it to conduct Primary, State Chairman or NWC?

2. The correspondence between INEC and the forthcoming Primary is between INEC & who? State Chairman or National Chairman?

3. Is INEC monitoring the Primary a statutory responsibility? Yes/No

4. What happens when INEC doesn't monitor the Primary of any Political Party?

5. When the APC Electoral Committee Chairman, Ajibulu and the INEC REC allegedly spoke same night, what was the details of their conversation?

6. If we assume, but not conceding that Ekanem gave the address, what was the address given by the APC NWC?

7. Was the address communicated to INEC?

8. Did INEC monitor the Primaries?

And you think he’d respond to this?

The Akwa Ibom case is straight forward and simple. Just that APC online warriors are being emotional about it.

There has to be an end to, and punishment for, impunity.

Like you already noted, INEC made it clear in their letter that in APC communication with the Commission, the party chose Sheergrace Arena Hotel as venue of its primaries.

Until the day of the primaries, the Commission did not receive any contrary correspondence and therefore mobilized to the venue with Police Commissioner and DSS state director only for Mr Ajibulu to say the primaries has been canceled by 10:30pm but later went on to conduct yahoo yahoo primaries at a different venue without INEC presence.

Which of these actions is lawful or can APC rely on to challenge INEC decision?

I thought APC would learn from their stupidity in Anambra where the Supreme Court had to void the shameful jamboree they called primaries but it’s obvious they didn’t.

So, free anybody wey wan argue nonsense abeg.

Firstly, S84(1) of the Electoral Act 2022:
A political party seeking to nominate candidates for election under this Act shall hold primaries for aspirants to all elective positions which shall be monitored by the Commission. They have been quoting Section 82 without quoting Section 84.

Shall is mandatory. (Black's Law Dictionary)

Let me give you a rundown; the venue of the Primary was not contested either by the factions or the NWC. The NWC simply set andate and told them to kill themselves.

When materials arrived at the airport, there was some scuffle, so the DSS & Police took custody of the materials whilst INEC was at Sheergrace Arena.

Around 10:30pm, the APC Electoral Committee Chairman called the INEC REC, who was still with the police at the venue and told him the elections will hold at a later day as all parties have agreed with the Police it will be shifted and that he is traumatised by what happened with the attack and all that. The REC and INEC went home to see results the next morning.


INEC announced this in April that any Primary they don't monitor would not have their Candidates on the ballot. The issue is not who announced the results but was the Primary monitored by the Umpire? At no time did they counter the Sheergrace Arena ooooo or even informed INEC of a Change of Venue.


So, you be the judge?

In APC letter to INEC, did they indicate Sheergrace as the venue of the primaries?

If yes, did the APC at anytime notify the commission of a change of venue?

Did Mr Ajibulu tell Igini that the primaries was canceled or not?

Is a primary not monitored by INEC valid or not?

If INEC has no power to say a political party has no candidate, why did the Supreme Court agree with its decision of APC not having any candidate in all offices in the 2019 general elections in Zamfara?
