The Federal Government has expressed concern over allegations being raised against some nominees for Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by the civil society organisations in the country.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, spoke Wednesday on the matter while taking questions from State House reporters after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Some of the nominees have been accused of either being card-carrying members of political parties or relatives of key chieftains of major political parties.
The minister, however, said President Muhammadu Buhari would not throw out the names of some embattled nominees among 19 INEC REC sent to the Senate on July 26 for confirmation based on allegations that had not been proven.
