Sack them out of Africa into the deep red volcano should work

Let's watch and see.

They can resign one day to commencement of campaign.

If there is evidence of them campaigning and participating in elections before resigning, their victory could be invalidated in court.

Na their things
Nothing concerned me

Donshegxy10:
It means they are not eligible to contest.

They are eligible when they resign current appointment

Apc will split after convention

Nonpartisan1:
According to the section 84(10) of the new Electoral act recently signed into law, act which any government appointee interested in contesting or voting for any candidate in Party primaries must resign their positions 3 months ahead of such primary elections.

Now according to the recently released INEC time table. Political partiers have between April 4 to June 3, 2022 to conduct their primaries and ensure resolution of disputes from the exercise.

It means, going by the above provisions in the act and INEC time table, any government appointe who may be interested to participate in his or her party primaries and didnt resign by at least March 3rd, 2020 stands disqualified..

Thank you Lawan/Gbaja

Saraki we love your retirement

We are getting their gradually

Nigeria development is a long time project

Bye bye to ministers/commissioners using office advantage to win elections

You may have to consider that it's only recently signed and thus not yet binding

A law become binding the moment it is signed into law. Except part of that law provides exceptions

Says who ?

I saw this coming. The main loser is malami. Aliero beats him hands down here. They have been fighting in the state on who will become the next governor of kebbi state.

Is the law also binding on private sector employees?

You mean commencement of primaries!!!?

What about osibanjo? Since he was appointed by his excellency, president Buhari.

EasternActivist:
Wahala... APC govt just scored own goal

Na APC way be that. Always scoring own goals against themselves.

Yes but it does not have retrospective effect. It is enough if they resign immediately or within a reasonable time the bill was signed into law.It would not have been possible to resign in compliance with the law at a time when the law was not in existence.

Nonpartisan1:
Bros, it becomes Law the moment the President assented to it.

The akwa ibom man just got shot in the leg

you dont get it, there is a 3 month timeline window to resign their appointment before the primary election and that window closed on march 3rd.

How do you know that's what I will say...

See ur mouth like how!?! How ko why ni.

First of all go borrow sense come

Are u kidding me, recent what? The moment a bill is sign into law automatic becomes active and bide by all citizens of that country. The only electoral law known today in Nigeria, is the 2022 electoral act as amended.

I think the law makes it easier for Tinubu to become President

This was done to knock some people out of the race; Amaechi, Malami, the other Ministers gunning for governorship plus the outgoing Governors who want to install one of their commissioners as their successor (Pastor in Akwa Ibom).

It gives the NASS members a better chance at becoming governors

Donshegxy10:
.... They can also lobby inec to readjust its timetable.

Most likely option, IMHO

More will be unravel

Lawyers will throw more light before the week runs out..

Governors, AND... President. Please do not say I told you

i agree on this.

Nonpartisan1:
They must have thought the National Assembly would accede to Buhari's request to delete the controversial section.

Wahala dey

just listen to your self and your level of reasoning. Any government appointee both apc. pdp. apga. etc most resign his position. If he must contest any position, vote and voted for. Any their part primaries

what is go borrow sense.if doing the right thing means scoring an own goal,are you now insinuating that they shouldn't have signed it ?? What "if" they are not thinking your thoughts??
What if they actually meant well on this one ??
What if this will only be the right thing they will do ??
What if the all Bad APC beat the useless PDP on this one ,what if this ACT is to saveguard the future.oga we should give praise when due and keep sentiments aside.i am neither a supporter of Nigeria talk more of supporting any of all the dead political parties in it .smh
