The Campaign for Democracy CD has frowned at ministers at the federal level who have not resigned their appointments before they commenced campaigns and consultations across the country.
CD wondered why the ministers have not resigned when their counterparts at the states level have already complied.
According to a statement issued by the group’s General Secretary, Ifeanyi Odili the action of the ministers is nothing but executive lawlessness.
The group said it is wrong for Chris Ngige, Rotimi Amaechi and other Federal Ministers to continue with their consultations without recourse to the provisions of electoral law while their states counterparts are already complying.
The statement reads, “It is an executive lawlessness for ministers not to resign before they begin consultantions.
“This became necessary due to non-compliance with the section 84(12) of the electoral law by the political appointees at the federal level.
“CD frowns critically against the ministers at the federal level who have not resigned their appointments before they commenced campaigns and consultations across the country when their counterparts at the states level have already complied.
“It is executive lawlessness and irresponsibility for Chris Ngige, Rotimi Amaechi and other Federal Ministers to continue with their consultations without recourse to the provisions of electoral law while their states counterparts are already complying.
