Ahead of the Edo and Ondo State governorship elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned politicians
Ahead of the Edo and Ondo State governorship elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission has warned politicians against using religious centres for political campaigns.
These positions were contained in the guidelines for conduct of political activities, procession and campaigns released by the commission, yesterday. “No political campaign shall hold in places designated as religious centres, police stations and public offices. Political campaign shall not involve the use of abusive languages or any form of hate speech.
The National Commissioner, Information and Voter Education, Sam Olumekun, in a statement accompanying the guidelines, lamented that over the years, a recurring problem in Nigeria’s electioneering process has been the use of the power of incumbency to deny opposition parties and candidates access to public facilities for rallies and other campaign activities. He also noted that incumbent governors impose excessive levies and fees for outdoor and media advertising.
