Why enter into a battle you’re absolutely certain you’ll eventually lose?
The Unity Party of Nigeria appears to know one or two things about picking one’s battles.
In what may be an attempt to not waste its time and resources, Frederick Fasehun’s party has decided to abstain from the forthcoming elections in Kogi and Bayelsa.
But that’s not the official line- which is that the UPN is pulling out because of the illegality of an Acting Chairman of INEC- Amina Zakari- to conduct an election.
Fasehun said on Saturday, that there’s no constitutional provision for an acting Chairman of INEC to conduct an election.
“The constitution does not give room to acting chairman of INEC to conduct election. It does not even recognise an acting INEC chairman.
“It is illegal, any election done or conducted under the present acting chairman of INEC is null and void.”
