INEC to validate registers of political parties

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said it will validate the membership registers submitted to it by political parties.
Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, warned political parties against falsifying its figures on its register, adding that such move will attract disqualification of its candidates.
Oyekanmi noted that the Commission will authenticate the membership register of political parties that opt for direct primaries for nominating their candidates.
INEC had fixed party primaries for April 4 and June 3, and most parties have scheduled their primaries for May.
