A directive to disqualify certain candidates has been issued to the Independent National Electoral Commission. The basis for this directive is being questioned by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. He wonders if a recent Supreme Court judgment supports such a move. The judgment in question did not explicitly order the disqualification of affected candidates.

Further details about the situation are available. The authority of the committee that issued the directive is also being questioned.

The issue revolves around candidates whose names have already been published. More information can be found in the original report.
