We pack those type of petitions aside basically. Even if there is implication of merit within the complaint, we will say go and compete first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe are not going to be the one to be used to give you the fair or unfair advantage. When the competition is over, we will decide on the merit or otherwise of what you have brought forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do have an understanding with INEC that in cases where contestants challenge each other in court and the decision says somebody forged a certificate for example, INEC will send those things to us, and we are prosecuting a few of them at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThose are ways we will add value without compromising ourselves or exposing our officers to the compromise and desperation of politicians during the contest,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He challenged political parties to do a self-check of candidates they field as the fortune of any nation relies on the type of leaders it gets, noting that the pruning process should start with political parties so that \u201ccharity should begin at home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of the 2023 general elections, some politicians have been accused of weaponizing anti-corruption agencies with politically-motivated petitions in order to outdo their opponents.
