INEC Says Registration Of Political Parties Is First Come, First Serve by Noraokon: 4:45pm On Mar 11, 2013
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Monday came out to defend the commission’s guidelines for the registration of new political parties, stating that the process is first come first serve, while at the same time, explaining that the All Progressive Congress (APC) is not known to the commission.

Also the commission said that the implication that there is already a group with the name African Peoples Congress (APC) that has submitted its documents for registration as a political party, means that the coalescing of opposition political parties to form the All Progressive Congress (APC) acronym must be changed to avoid confusion.

In the same manner, INEC said that it would not like to be drawn into discussion with the former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari who is alleging that the commission is a cesspool of corruption.

INEC's position is very clear. i blame Buhari and co who were busy making political statements instead of strategizing. it should serve as a wake up call to all and sundry.
