Eze Questions Legality of APC's Chinda Candidacy in Rivers

Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has raised concerns regarding the legality of Kingsley Chinda's candidacy for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State. Eze questioned whether Chinda's name was included in the verified APC membership register submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

This challenge follows a Supreme Court ruling on the validity of specific sections of the Electoral Act, which mandates that only members listed in the party's register can participate in internal electoral processes. Eze emphasized that the APC's assertion of Chinda's qualification is insufficient without documentary evidence proving compliance with the law.

He stated that the Supreme Court's ruling underscores the necessity for political parties to adhere to legal standards, asserting that the matter transcends individual candidates and reflects on the rule of law governing the upcoming electoral process in Rivers State.
