Merging association renovates building which will host its national operations.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, will on Tuesday inspect the proposed national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2010 (amended).

A source in the party disclosed this to PREMIUM TIMES on Monday, saying the Commission has written to notify the APC of its intention to carry out the inspection by 10 a.m. as part of the registration conditions.

APC is the proposed merged party of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN; Congress for Progressive Change, CPC; All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP; Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, and a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.

The secretariat is located at 6, Bissau Street, Zone 5, Wuse District, Abuja, a few meters away from the national secretariat of ACN. It is a cream coloured two-storey building, once occupied by the Nigeria Telecommunication Limited, NITEL. PREMIUM TIMES gathered that the building, currently undergoing renovation, was donated by a wealthy member of the fledging association.

The association applied to INEC for registration on June 7 after which it was asked by the electoral body to constitute its national executive in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution. It complied with the directive immediately with the setting up of an executive committee led by Bisi Akande, the incumbent ACN National Chairman; including Aminu Masari, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives as deputy National Chairman; Tijjani Tumsah, incumbent National Secretary of ANPP as National Secretary; Lai Mohammed of ACN as the National Publicity Secretary, among others.

Mr. Mohammed had told PREMIUM TIMES last week that the Commission would soon visit the secretariat for inspection, adding that the building was already undergoing renovation for the purpose.

Kayode Idowu, spokesman of the INEC Chairman, when contacted on Monday night could not confirm the visit of the Commission’s officials to the secretariat, but said, “It is part of the process for vetting the application of political associations that applied for registration.”
