Mr Ibrahim Mohammed-Lawal, the Personal Assistant on Students Affairs to Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to sanction violators of early campaigns and its electoral acts in the State.
This is contained in a statement he issued to newsmen in Lafia on Thursday.
Mohammed- Lawal said that politicians and stakeholders must play the game of politics by its rules in the interest of unity, peace and development of the state.
He reiterated that INEC had not lifted the ban on political campaigns, yet certain actors continue to engage in premature and unlawful political activities.
“We hereby call on INEC to take note of these violations and apply appropriate sanctions, in line with the Electoral Act, to deter further abuse of the democratic process,” he said.
The personal assistant also urged stakeholders of APC to respect the decision of the party in the state.
“We reaffirm that decisions taken by the APC State Working Committee are collective, lawful, and binding. Party supremacy remains sacrosanct and must not be subordinated to personal ambition or external political interests,” he said
Mohammed Lawal said that APC was a progressive party committed to national renewal, stability, development, and not a platform for political opportunism.
“We stand firmly with President Bola Tinubu and Gov. Sule against any plot to distract, discredit, or derail governance in Nasarawa State.
“Our focus remains governance, development, reforms, and consolidating the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda, so that Nigerians can continue to experience purposeful leadership,” he said. (NAN)
