INEC’s job is to publish names, not vet candidates — Adebayo
By Efe Onodjae The Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, Adewale Adebayo, has said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is responsible for publishing the names of candidates submitted by political parties, not determining their eligibility.
He noted that alongside his name, INEC also published the names of the party’s vice-presidential candidate, 109 senatorial candidates and 360 House of Representatives candidates, describing the exercise as routine.
Speaking on Sunday Politics, Adebayo described INEC as a public institution whose duty is to receive and make candidates’ information available to Nigerians, stressing that the commission is not responsible for verifying the accuracy of credentials submitted by aspirants.
