It's Not Yet Time For Campaign..INEC Warns Politicians

INEC has warned politicians and political parties against embarking on campaign toward the 2015 general elections. Speaking through the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, the commission threatened that security agents had been called to arrest violators of the order.

Idowu said such act was unhealthy for the political process and a threat to Nigeria’s democracy. He said the commission noted that campaign posters were being indiscriminately displayed.

The spokesman reminded all players that the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) was still in force, stressing that “the period of campaigning in public by every political party shall commence 90 days before polling day and end 24 hours prior to that day.”
