INEC needs 17,618 workers to conduct APC, PDP primaries - Punch Newspapers
While the National Assembly is on the verge of limiting parties to direct primaries in the ongoing amendments to the Electoral Act 2010, INEC has expressed fear over the logistical problems it would create for the commission.
While INEC has a proposed budget of N140bn for 2022, the Federal Government has proposed N100bn additional provision for the commission in the 2022 Appropriation Bill presently before the National Assembly to cater for the 2023 general elections. Okoye appeared on Politics Today, a current affairs programme on Channels Television, where he raised issues against direct primaries.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Ajibola Basiru, who also featured on the programme, and who stated that he was speaking for himself and not Senate’s spokesperson, said the Electoral Act should allow parties to determine any mode of primary.
