Newly Elected Nigerian Lawmaker Refused To Collect Certificate Of Return by ruffhandu(op): 6:53pm On Mar 08, 2023

.
Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial district, Ibrahim Shekarau has insisted that he will not accept the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Senatorial seat.

The former governor was reacting to his declaration as winner of Kano Central Senatorial district on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party by the Independent National Electoral Commission after the February 25 presidential and parliamentary elections.

The former governor of Kano State who didn’t show up to receive the Certificate of Return issued to Senators-elect at the International Conference Centre, Abuja on Tuesday further clarifies that he has since left the NNPP.
His Media aide, Sule Y. Sule made the clarification to journalists on Wednesday that his principal wouldn’t collect the Certificate of Return.

“We have already made our position clear on the issue. Senator Shekarau is not interested and will not collect the certificate of return. As a matter of principles and personal conviction”, Sule said.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC declared the former governor winner of the Senatorial election under the NNPP, following the February 25 by the Returning Officer in Kano.

Respect to this man. This has been my stand on the issue that he must be a man enough to reject that position under NNPP.

But he should respect people's mandates.

He knows it's a landmine. Once in, it's difficult to get out unlike before.
I'm sure he will approach the courts.

They should give the certificate to Senator Rufai Hanga, he has since replaced Shekarau as NNPP candidate, but INEC refuse to recognize him.

for him to reject this means he is different. Have you ever seen a Nigerian politician do this in history? Please tell. The Nigerian politicians I know will enter there first, then try to twart the story in court.

That means NNPP has no candidate for the election.
Then INEC will decide on the next line if action.

He knows the certificate will be returned that's why he act in this way to avoid shame.
When he left NNPP, the party sent a replacement which inec insisted on him.

The senatorial certificate of return is for NNPP.
