kyase.... You should know him by now grin


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?

We’ll recognise only delegates from congresses we monitored, says INEC
In a memo to all political parties, INEC said it would recognise only delegates produced by congresses “duly monitored by the commission”.

INEC is likely not going to appeal any Court Order to that effect.

Ita Enang is the only person who will based on the report.

He will need good money to keep him quiet.

Fetgie has clarified it.I missed section 84.it is not in the place of a state rec to issue statements for inec but the nat chair,secs and commissioners like okoye...

Supreme court sacked apc not because of inec but because marafa and co went to court to proof that swc conducted primaries instead of nwc

Before Marafa, INEC had issued a public statement that APC does not have candidates in Zamfara.

Or is your memory failing u?

I really do not know what is wrong with APC. The Supreme Court was clear that he should not be entrusted with any public office whatsoever for life, so why will they allow him to contest?

He has even taken winner to Court that there was no Primary. Can an invalid candidate give rise to the nullification of the process? I don't think so but will research that.

1. INEC doesn't have any business with the State Chairman, all correspondences is with the National Chairman as only the NWC and not SWC is responsible for the conduct of Primaries or delegates election.

2. Number one has answered it already. National Chairman and INEC (represented by State REC).

5. All factions agreed the election will hold on another date, and the Electoral Chairperson, Ajibulu communicated same to Igini.

6. The NWC didn't give a counter address as the SheerGrace Arena was not contested by all the parties.

8. The RECs represent INEC at the State level, so INEC didn't monitor it.

1. State Chairman has no business with Primary. What the State can do is provide the Venue, that is if the NWC has no problem with it.

2. INEC has no business with State Chairman but the National Chairman.

3. Yes

4. INEC's monitoring is a statutory responsibility, their sending a representation is also statutory.

5. When they didn't show up, the REC called the APC Electoral Committee Chairman, Ajibulu, who told him that all parties agreed for the Primary to be postponed.

6. The NWC didn't propose a Venue. Their decision will supercede that of the State if they did.

7. Yes, SheerGrace Arena, which wasn't contested by both parties.

8. They were not informed and no observer said they were informed. The agreement was in (5) above, only for results to be reeled out the next morning.


With what happened to Edo yesterday, AKS will have no Guber candidate and no candidate for Akwa Ibom South Senatorial District, unless there is a Court Order to back same.

Equally as lethal as that of Enang.

Iwok Ors v PDP adjourned to July 15 for judgement.

Taraba APC have some big issues. INEC have submitted their reports (No Primary held on 27 May). INEC didn't monitor, the case was same as Udofias in AKS.

The APC National Chair called for a meeting for the aspirants to agree on Bwacha, so they will use the Consensus method, all five of them rejected and asked Bwacha to take the Senate which he refused.

The 5: (David Kente, Mamman Saleh, Yusuf Abubakar, Anthony Manzo & Danladi Kifasi). They have all gone to Court individually.

Again, the NWC forgot to state the mode of Primaries and only wrote INEC about it on 30 May, 3 days after the Primary. Taraba will likely not have any APC Candidate across Board.
