*A STAY ON 2015 CAMPAIGNING*
Ahead of the 2015 election, the Independent NationalElectoral Commission (INEC) has warned politicians and political parties to desist from what it described as “unbridled campaigns”, adding that the commission will not hesitate to apply appropriate sanctions.
The apex electoral body, which stated that the campaigns run contrary to Section 99(1) of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), called on security agents to apprehend those responsible for placing those posters or engaging in electioneering broadcasts.
Residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and other states have, in recent times, been greeted with the presidential campaign posters of President Goodluck Jonathan, General Muhammadu Buhari as well as posters of the governors of Jigawa, Rivers and Niger states. The personalities had, however, denied any connection with the posters.
But a statement by the chief press secretary to INEC chairman, Mr Kayode Idowu, described the trend as unhealthy and a threat to Nigeria’s democracy.
The statement reads in part: “The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has observed that some politicians and registered political parties have begun unbridled campaign towards the forthcoming general election, thereby heating up the polity.
“It is observed that campaign posters are being indiscriminatel y displayed, while electioneering broadcasts are being aired outside the statutory provision for campaigning towards elections into various elective offices.
“This trend is unhealthy and portends ill for the political process. Indeed, it is a threat to Nigeria’s democracy.
NIGERIANS, YOUR REACTIONS PLEASE...
