“I briefed them on certain developments in our party, APC and our preparations for the local government elections. I urged those with ambition to contest elections in 2023 to take a look at the electoral bill which was recently signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari,” said Mr Masari. “The meeting was necessary so that they can do the needful by respecting the electoral act aimed at avoiding the avoidable. They should comply with the Electoral Act.”
Section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act recently signed into law by the president prevents political appointees from contesting elective positions without first resigning.
