The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has urged senior lawyers engaged in the election petition process to stop sending junior lawyers to the headquarters of the commission to collect or process documents as regards election tribunal.
The INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Voter Education and Publicity, Mr. Festus Okoye, made the call on Monday while presenting a Certificate of Return to Hon. Emeka Nwajiuba, the House of Representatives member-elect representing Okigwe South Federal constituency (Ehime, Mbano/Ihitte, Uboma/Obowo).
He said that INEC is irrevocably committed to obeying court orders and court judgments, adding that as far as the commission is concerned, it is the duty and responsibility of courts to adjudicate on matters and whenever the certified true copy of the judgment of court is served on INEC, the commission would obey and enforce all court judgments.
