Political appointees and public office holders aspiring for elective offices during the 2023 general election in Nasarawa State have been directed to resign from their appointments latest April 8, 2022.
The directive was issued in a statement by the Secretary to the Nasarawa State Government, Muhammad Ubandoma Aliyu in Lafia.
According to the statement, those seeking to become delegates of the party are also to resign from their appointments or public office.
The statement drew the attention of the political appointees and public office holders to the recent signing into law of the new electoral act by President Muhammadu Buhari, as well as the release of guidelines by the National Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), which have both come into full effect.
Accordingly, all political appointees and public office holders desirous of seeking elective office or delegate are advised to resign latest on Friday, April 8, in compliance to Section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act 2022.
