INEC Reveals Only Way APC Can Replace Shettima As Borno Senator


INEC’s National Commissioner in charge of Information and Chairman, Voters Education, Festus Okoye spoke in a recent interview.


The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has given the All Progressives Congress tips if the party wants to replace Senator Kashim Shettima as its Vice Presidential candidate.

 

In a chat with THISDay, INEC’s National Commissioner in charge of Information and Chairman, Voters Education, Festus Okoye said the party will have to conduct another fresh primary in the senatorial district..

 

Okoye stated that the second runner-up during the Borno Central Senatorial District cannot replace Shettima under the new  Electoral Act.

 

He added that Senator Shettima will write a letter with a sworn affidavit that he is no more interested to contest as a senatorial candidate in the National Assembly election.

 

The INEC spokesman disclosed that the lawmaker will then submit the letter to his party, who will, in turn, submit same to INEC.

 

He added that upon the receipt of the letter,  INEC will order a fresh senatorial primary election in his senatorial election for replacement within 14 days.

 

He said, “The era of the person that came second during the Borno Central senatorial district automatically taking over does not arise any more.


“Senator Shettima will write a letter with a sworn affidavit that he is no more interested to contest as a senatorial candidate in the National Assembly election.


“He will then submit the letter to his party, who will in turn submit same to INEC. Upon the receipt of the letter,  INEC will order for a fresh senatorial primary election in his senatorial election for replacement within 14 days.


“With this letter and the affidavit, the commission will monitor the senatorial primary election. The era of the person that came second is gone.”
