The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has issued a 7-day ultimatum to the Delta State Independent Electoral Commission (DSIEC) to correct the anomaly in the notification for the conduct of local government council elections scheduled for July 13 or face legal action.
The state APC accused DSIEC of deliberately violating several provisions of the State Electoral Law 2017 for the conduct of local government elections in the state.
As the leading opposition party in the state, the APC accused the state electoral umpire of a deliberate breach of the state electoral law 2017, to tilt the odds in favour of the ruling party in the state, the PDP, in the forthcoming local government elections.
The Delta State APC also took a swipe at DSIEC over several issues it considered as aberrations in “The Pointer publication of 3rd May 2024,” noting that the newspaper is owned by the Delta State government.
