Same lawyer, two parties: Coalition demands INEC probe of APM, NDC; commission reacts

A civil society coalition, under the Nigeria Democratic Rights Advocacy (NDRA), has raised concerns over an alleged violation of the revised Electoral Act prohibiting dual membership in political parties. The group noted that Barr. Reuben Egwuaba is listed as National Legal Adviser for both the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), indicating a legal contradiction. They called on authorities to investigate this situation, which could constitute a criminal offense.
