We will not engage PDP on petitions that are sub-Judice – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will not engage the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in an argument on petitions before the presidential election petitions tribunal because they are sub-judice.

INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and voter education committee, Mr Festus Okoye, said this in a statement released in Abuja.

Mr. Okoye was responding to PDP’s allegation that INEC refused to release election materials used for the conduct of this year’s, presidential poll to it as ordered by the presidential election petitions tribunal.

He said the commission is aware that there were petitions pending before the tribunal where the petitioners had filed their cases and the respondents had responded to the petitions.
