The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has blasted the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, over its stance on campaigns.
After the commission did to go ahead with the presidential and national assembly elections scheduled to hold on the 16th of February, INEC also stated recently that no political party is allowed to reopen campaigns.
The opposition rejected the wrongful administrative ban of open campaigns by INEC, saying that such administrative pronouncement was erroneous, directly in conflict with the provision of the Electoral Act and is not supported by any other law in our country.
The PDP told INEC that whenever its administrative pronouncement is against the Electoral Act, such administrative pronouncement must kneel before the law.
The party charges INEC to be properly guided while ordering its members to wait for further directives ahead of its reopening of campaigns.
