INEC, APC Shut Down Activities For Two Weeks

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have announced a total shutdown of all activities for two weeks in their desperation to check the spread of Coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to newsmen at the party’s national secretariat, the national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, said it was a measure to protect the staff from the dreaded disease.
Also, in a statement signed by the national commissioner and chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, the commission warned that apart from shutting down, it “will no longer monitor the conventions, congresses, conferences or meetings of political parties until further notice.”
The commission, however, warned that the new measures taken will not affect the activities for Edo and Ondo governorship elections scheduled for September 19 and October 10, 2020, respectively.
