…IPAC Ogun, commiserates with NNPP over the death of former Caretaker Chairman
The Action Alliance political party in Ogun State has joined others in condemning the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission’s (OGSIEC) introduction of administrative fees for candidates.
The fees, which range from ₦100,000 to ₦250,000, have been deemed unfair and lacking in transparency.
Sanyaolu and other political leaders argued that OGSIEC’s decision undermines the credibility of the upcoming local government elections and contradicts principles of fairness and transparency.
He demanded the rescission of OGSIEC’s guidelines, emphasizing that the fee would burden candidates and impact the election’s integrity.
According to the chairman, “Last local government election, they said it, and when we complained, they removed it. How can they now say it again we’re going to pay money? Are they the owners of our political parties?
“Did INEC collect money from us when we went to contest? How will OGSIEC now say we should pay money? INEC did not bill us; how can OGSIEC bill us? So, if we pay money to OGSIEC now, and candidates will still pay money to the party, can we kill our people?” Sanyaolu questioned.
