The circular was addressed to heads of government establishments across the state, including commissioners, chairmen of commissions, permanent secretaries, and heads of extra-ministerial departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the circular, the government reiterated that public officers who intend to participate in the electoral process must first disengage from public service to comply with Nigeria\u2019s constitutional and administrative regulations. The directive cited the provisions of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers contained in the 1999 Constitution, as well as relevant public service rules governing neutrality in the civil service. (<a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/2027-kwara-criver-mandate-resignation-for-officials-seeking-office\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Punch Newspapers<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compliance With Electoral Timetable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The directive from the Kwara government was also influenced by the timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission for the 2027 elections. According to the electoral schedule, party primaries are expected to commence on April 23, 2026, and end on May 30, 2026, while nationwide campaigns will follow ahead of the polls. (<a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/2027-kwara-criver-mandate-resignation-for-officials-seeking-office\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Punch Newspapers<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the schedule, the presidential and National Assembly elections are expected to take place on January 16, 2027, while governorship and state House of Assembly elections will be conducted on February 6, 2027. (<a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/2027-kwara-criver-mandate-resignation-for-officials-seeking-office\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Punch Newspapers<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Political observers believe the early directive is designed to ensure transparency in governance and prevent civil servants from using state resources to pursue personal political ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cross River Government Issues Similar Order<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a similar development, the Cross River State Government has also directed members of the State Executive Council and other political appointees who intend to contest in the 2027 elections to resign from office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The directive was issued by the state governor, Bassey Otu, who stressed the importance of separating governance from political ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking during a State Executive Council meeting, the governor instructed that all affected officials must step down from their positions on or before March 26, 2026, if they plan to participate in the upcoming elections. (<a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/2027-kwara-criver-mandate-resignation-for-officials-seeking-office\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Punch Newspapers<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governor Otu emphasized that holding public office is a sacred responsibility that must not be compromised by early political campaigning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, governance must remain focused on delivering democratic dividends to the people rather than being distracted by political contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safeguarding the Integrity of Public Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The decisions by both state governments underscore a broader effort to preserve the neutrality of the civil service while maintaining discipline within the public sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In democratic governance, civil servants are expected to remain politically neutral while in service. As such, any official who intends to run for elective office must resign before entering the political arena to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure fairness among political aspirants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governance analysts believe that as the political atmosphere gradually builds toward the 2027 elections, similar directives may emerge from other states and government institutions across Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the political season already taking shape, the directives from Kwara and Cross River states signal the beginning of what may become a nationwide transition of technocrats, appointees, and civil servants into active partisan politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> The Punch<br><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalegberi.com.ng\/wp\">www.globalegberi.com.ng\/wp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Author:<\/strong><br><strong>Dr. Odimientimi Agbedeyi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kwara, Cross River Governments Order Civil Servants, Political Appointees to Resign Ahead of 2027 ElectionsBy Dr. Odimientimi Agbedeyi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":264,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
