The Electoral Act, 2022 and Conduct of People's Democratic Party ... (The Nation Newspaper)

The intention of the legislature is that the affairs of registered political parties are to be regulated by the Electoral Act. Stiff penalty is provided ...

Having conducted the congresses and primary election that produced its candidates in Enugu State for the 2023 general election before the expiration of 30 days after the submission of its register of members in the state to INEC, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), clearly acted in contravention of the provisions of Section 77 (3) of the Act supra. Congress, primaries or convention of a political party held before the expiration of 30 days after submission of the register of its members to INEC cannot validly produce candidates for such political parties to contest in an election, as the provisions of Section 77 (3) of the Act supra, would have been clearly violated. The consequence, as provided in Section 84 (13) of the Act supra, is that candidates of the party in Enugu State shall not be included in the 2023 general election. The lid has been blown off the nocturnal meetings of officials of the party in Enugu State and their candidates, including their telephone calls to highly placed and connected individuals within and outside judicial circles for purposes of making overtures to a judge before whom the matter is pending. It follows without equivocation that the congresses were also conducted before the expiration of 30 days after thr submission of register of members of the party in the state to INEC. The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State thereafter began the conduct of its congresses, culminating in its gubernatorial primary on 25th May, 2022.

How Much Value is Dogara Adding to PDP? (THISDAY Newspapers)

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has moved again. This time around, he has moved from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to ...

Ironically, the Independent People of Biafra, IPOB, has come out to vehemently claim it is not behind these attacks which also go with the weekly sit-at-home order from the ESN. In fact, among the young voting population, Obi has assumed a status of a cult hero with many of them putting down their monies to run his campaign. Again, in September 2021, the INEC office in Awgu Local Government Area of the state was set on fire by some persons. Just last month, there was another attack on the commission’s office in Izzi Local Government Area of the state. It is no news that the presidential campaign train of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has had more issues to deal with and more questions to answer than actually selling the candidacy of its standard-bearer, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu to voters. For instance, the ruling APC has various times expressed its opposition to electronic transmission of election results and use of biometrics. Tokunbo Peters, a public affairs analyst based in Abeokuta wrote in his Facebook page that it is when an aspirant to a political office has so much to hide that he or she resorts to hostile approach when put on the spot. “The leadership of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council wishes to formally announce that Rt. Dogara, who is the leader of the Northern Elders’ Consultative Forum, NECF, had expressed deep opposition to the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC. Meanwhile, he had left the same PDP for APC in 2020 when he was being politically emasculated by the governor of his native Bauchi State and former minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Bala Mohammed. In fact, then Caretaker Chairman of the APC and governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, had taken Dogara to meet President Muhammadu Buhari who received Dogara back to the APC. It could be recalled that Dogara had left the same PDP to APC in 2020 and now, he is back in the PDP.
