INEC suspends Resident Electoral Commissioner

The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Sokoto State, Dr Nura Ali, has been suspended with immediate effect by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

 

INEC’s Secretary, Rose Orlaran-Anthony, made the announcement in a letter addressed to both the Resident Electoral Commissioner and the Administrative Secretary in the state.

 

Dr Nura Ali has been directed to stay away from the Commission’s office in Sokoto State until further notice.

 

While the reason for the suspension was not explicitly stated, it was gathered that the decision may be connected to the recent allegations of irregularities in the just-concluded election in the state.

 

The Administrative Secretary, Hajiya Aliyu Kangiwa, has been instructed to take full charge of INEC in Sokoto State.
