Electoral Act: Malami, Amaechi, Ngige have till Saturday as APC orders ministers to resign

As part of its last minute efforts to stave off any possible violation of the Electoral Act, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has given a deadline to cabinet ministers and other executive appointees at both the states and federal levels within which they must resign their appointments if they intend to participate in its forthcoming round of primary elections.

The appointees, according to the set of guidelines for the primaries sighted by Vanguard, now have till this Saturday to quit their present offices.

Section 3(i) of the APC Guidelines for the Nomination of Candidates for the 2023 General Elections states; ”No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for the purpose of the nomination of candidates.
