INEC should disqualify candidates that go to churches or mosques to campaign or solicit for vote – Deji Adeyanju
Human Rights Activist, Deji Adeyanju has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to disqualify candidates that go to churches or mosques to seek for support or votes.
He shared this in a post on Tuesday noting that the Nigerian law forbids the use of religion or tribe to campaign.
Adeyanju had advised the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, to start building structures instead of going to churches like someone seeking to become the CAN president and on Tuesday morning, mocked the deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Funke Akindele, for being in a church service.
He said: “2023: INEC should disqualify candidates that go to churches or mosques to campaign or solicit for support/votes. Our laws forbid the use of religion or tribe to campaign.”
that doesn’t makes sense…….
