Movement For the Support of Democracy and Promotion of Good Governance (MSDG) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disqualify all candidates having pending cases on financial misappropriation seeking elective posts in 2023 general election.
In a statement signed and issued to our correspondent in Kano by the group’s National President, Alhaji Abubakar Shehu Usman, MSDG disclosed that there are so many candidates that are seeking various elective positions while they are having pending cases either in courts or with ICPC and EFCC which is a slap on NIgeria’s democracy.
Furthermore, the group lamented that, “No country would develop under corrupt leaders and from what is happening, INEC should try and disqualify all candidates with answerable cases on financial crime in order to sanitize our leadership for better Nigeria”.
In conclusion, the group announced that plans have been concluded to commence special media action on the need for disqualification of all candidates with pending cases in courts or national anti-graft agencies.
