IPAC Calls for Immediate Scrapping of SIECs

The Inter-Party Advisory Council – IPAC has called for the immediate scrapping of the State Independent Electoral Commissions (SIECS), after the Supreme Court restored local government financial autonomy.

The council said that the States’ electoral bodies have become mere appendages of various government houses.

IPAC chairman, YUSUF DANTALLE disclosed this in Abuja, during a press briefing, saying that SIECs have proven to be incompetent and incapable of conducting free, fair, credible, transparent, inclusive, and peaceful elections.

He called for the implementation of the Supreme Court rulings and charged local government chairmen to reciprocate the gesture of this landmark ruling by the judicious utilization of the resources to deal with the several issues confronting Nigerians at the grassroots.
