Olalekan Raheem, a resident
electoral commissioner (REC) nominee, says he is a member of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Raheem from Osun state said this
on Tuesday while being screened by the senate committee on Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC).
The nominee told the committee
that he contested for Osogbo local government chairmanship position in 2013.
“I am a member of APC and I
contested for the chairmanship of Osogbo local government in 2013,” he said.
“In 2015, I moved on to study
psychology at the University of Ibadan. I had the card then when I had the
intention of contesting. I was a DG of a contestant in 2017. I was part of the
campaign. I am no longer a card carrying member since I left to go back to
school. I have not been attending political functions again.”
Kabiru Gaya, chairman of the
committee, said: “The petition shows you with pictures of a party.”
Responding, the nominee said: “I
don’t have any sympathy for any political party again.”
Thereafter, Gaya said his
screening exercise was “successful”.
“If there is any more
information, especially the petition, we will seek for details -if there is
none, you can consider yourself successful,” the chairman said.
“If there is any problem, we will
also let you know.”
