The electoral body demanded copies of the association’s constitution and manifesto.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has responded to the request by the All Progressive Congress, APC, for registration as a party and demanded relevant documents to back the claims made in its application.

APC, which is the merger of some opposition parties, had on June 5 applied to the electoral body seeking to be registered as a political party.

The merging parties as presented to the electoral body are the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN; All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP; and the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC.

Other opposition parties in the merger are the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, and a section of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.

The application was signed by the National Chairmen, Secretaries and Treasurers of ACN, ANPP and CPC as the other two did not hold special conventions to authorise their dissolution into the the APC.

In a letter dated June 12 and signed by its Secretary, Abdullahi Kaugama, the Commission asked APC to forward 35 copies of its constitution and manifesto to it. It also demanded an affidavit in support of its claim in Form PA 1.

The letter addressed to the national secretariat of the association at 6, Bissau Street, Wuse and obtained by PREMIUM TIMES reads, “Re” Request for Merger of the ACN, ANPP and CPC.

“Please, refer to your letter dated June 5, 2013, and find forwarded herewith 35 copies of the Commission prescribed Form A1 for your completion and return to the Commission.

“You are therefore requested to submit the under-listed documents –
1. 35 copies of proposed constitution
2. 35 copies of proposed manifesto
3. Affidavit in support for the claim in Form PA 1;

“You may note that the Commission shall verify the proposed headquarters address and claims in the Form PA 1.

“Kindly revert to enable the Commission commence the process of your request.”

It is not clear whether the association has responded to INEC’s demands.

What an inconsistency. APGA is no longer factionalised. Victor Umeh is the leader according to court of appeal.

When and where did APGA had the convention and agreed to merge?

Whoever wrote this is an embarrassment to journalism.

Next news....

Conglomeration of terrorist & looters

The only alternative to PDP at the moment is the Labour Party, LP, which is presently in power in Ondo State; because the party has an ideology.
The merger should not be to prosecute selfish interests or to move presidency to the Northern part of Nigeria.
When you look at the constitution of APC you will discover that it took care of the age-long welfarism which believe that those that work must be able to eat. Anybody that believes in the welfare of the people will be able to tackle the problem of the masses.
The essence of merger should
be to meet the aspiration of the
people. I look forward to a
merger where people will come
together on the need to move
Nigeria forward, where we will
be able to tackle the energy
crisis, security challenges
infrastructural decay.
It is when people of like minds
come together and fashion out
the way forward that the masses would recognize and demand specific roles for the brains behind the progressive moves.
Today Tinubu and Buhari are not the change we need.
A case of shark and deep blue sea

Ngwakwe: What an

Let them submit the required documents first. We would then see the outcome on the part of INEC. There's no need to start making noise for now.

INEC should just try and be professional in the handling of this matter, they should try as much as possible to avoid getting themselves into any mess, because these oppossition parties are always looking for opportunities to cry foul.

So to bring the required documents you been wan complain? I hope you and your cohort will learn to do things the right way.
By the way, why does "APC" always whine?

Watching as the episode continues.

Wahala dey! this people no see any other date apart from June 12?
I dey smell annulment of this party!

Why quote me without reference to what I pointed out.

APGA doesn't have two factions and was never in the merger talk. Rochas Okorocha is not APGA but a Governor under APGA.

a section of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.

I have always said it. APC failed on arrival. PDP will never let it see the light of the day. It will always be frustrated.
PDP will scheme it out of the 2015 race systematically.

ADIEU APC

One word, FEAR!
You ignore things that do not matter and remain paranoid about scary things.
Their approach makes that pretty obvious doesn't it?
PDP is terrified of APC and especially Buhari.
Read through posts and you see those name crop up even when the discourse has nothing to do with them.
Now we know Tinubu and Buhari have built mansions in the minds of the People Deceiving Party.

My learned friend, why not say something to dispute him? 'u have started too early on the NAME CALLING SAGA' Am wondering what 'mungo park' has got to do with his OPINION / STATEMENT.

Meanwhile @ OP: APC still has a long way to go to put things in order..Lets see how it goes.
