CNPP Tasks INEC To Reveal Sponsors Of New APC Believed To Be PDP

The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, CNPP, yesterday, challenged the Independent
National Electoral Commission, INEC to make public the promoters of the African Peoples’ Congress, APC, saying the new party was an initiative of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP.
Stalwarts of the newly formed merger All Progressives Congress, APC had last week raised alarm over the PDP’s ploy to hinder the registration of the new party by registering a party with the same abbreviation; African Peoples’ Congress, APC. The PDP is yet to respond to the accusations.
The CNPP in a statement said the PDP’s bid was to frustrate the merger plans of the country’s leading political parties who had chosen to coalesce into the All Progressive Congress, APC. The CNPP in the statement issued by its spokesman, Mr. Osita Okechukwu thus charged INEC to reveal the sponsors of the new party and to “resist the temptation of Peoples Democratic Party {PDP}’s covert move to register the African Peoples’ Congress; for prior to 6 February 2013 when the All Progressives Congress {APC} was formed, there was no such application in INEC.”
“Therefore PDP’s intention to register African People’s Congress is ignoble, subversive and meant to forestall the registration of the authentic APC, based on the flimsy argument that both possess the same acronym.”
“CNPP needs to remind INEC that PDP’s intendment is to foist one party state in Nigeria and rule uninterrupted for sixty years, with or without performance.”
“Consequently, we challenge INEC to publish the names of the promoters of African Peoples’ Congress to prove that it is not as alleged in merger with PDP.”
Former Head of state and three time Presidential candidate, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari had earlier alleged that the INEC is in merger with the FG to do the biddings of PDP. It remains to be seen if the INEC will release a statement to douse the doubts Nigerians are beginning to have in the fairness of the electoral commission.
