The REC who stated this yesterday in Benin, said that the commission was yet to lift suspension on campaign, noting that parties and candidates were expected to begin campaigning on April 24.

He said political parties were not expected to campaign publicly for the primary election as it is an internal affair of the parties.

He said the practice was not in line with INEC timetable, urging them to put a stop to it. He urged all the political parties and aspirants to pull down billboard, signpost as well as adverts on television and newspapers.

The REC said, “I am calling on the aspirants and the 16 political parties taking part in the September 21 election to comply with the timetable of the election.

They are not supposed to campaign publicly for the primary election. It is against the law.

“I will urge them to pull down their banners, billboard and stop running jingles on radio. They should also stop on television and newspapers. If they do not comply with this directive, we would have no other option than to sanction them,” he added.

He said the role of INEC in primary election is to monitor and supervise proceedings and is not expected to announce results as primary election is mainly an internal affair of the parties.

Onuoha said his duty is to write a report and send to the headquarters of the commission, adding, “we were present at the APC primary election. We saw what happened and we will present our report to Abuja.”
