STAKEHOLDERS of the Peoples Democratic Party in Zango-Kataf Local Government Area, Kaduna State, on Tuesday threatened to sue the State Independent Electoral Commission over the proposed May 15, 2021 local government election.
The threat was contained in a communiqué signed by Dr John Ayuba and Yusuf Kanitiok, the group’s chairman and secretary respectively.
They argued that the notice issued by the “Overseer” of the Kaduna SIECOM, for the conduct of local council election was unconstitutional.
The seven-point-communiqué read in part, “In as much as the party is willing and ready to participate in the forthcoming local government elections, we demand for a strict adherence to the relevant laws of the state and country in all the processes and conduct of the elections.
