Electoral Offences: SERAP asks INEC Chair to obey court judgement or face contempt charge
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has asked the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, to obey court judgement on electoral offences committed during 2023 general polls.
SERAP made the call in a statement yesterday by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare.
He said Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court Abuja delivered judgment on July 18 following a mandamus lawsuit brought by SERAP.
The group wants the INEC boss to immediately and effectively enforce the judgment ordering INEC to pursue cases of bribery against state governors and their deputies, and other electoral offences committed during the 2023 general elections.
It believes that obeying the court judgment would go a long way in protecting the integrity of our electoral and legal systems.
