The 2022 Electoral Act in its section 84(12) warns that “No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the Convention or Congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election.” The political appointees this section spells out include anyone holding a political office – ministers, commissioners, special advisers among others – must first resign their positions before they can be eligible to participate in the electoral process either as an aspirant or as a delegate.
A former Deputy Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River, Mrs Hellen Boco, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Mr. Lebo, who now fears what might have happened to his information said, “they moved in groups and they came to my house. They identified themselves as agents of the APC and that they were collecting information from people in the community to empower.”
