Nigeria's electoral umpire, the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC), on Thursday, said that
aside from the National Convention of Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) holding in Port Harcourt on
Saturday, May 21, 2016, it is unaware of another
convention of the party.
INEC's Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Mr
Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, said this in Abuja.
This has however, discredited the parallel convention
being planned by the PDP Concerned Stakeholders
group led by former Information Minister, Professor
Jerry Gana.
Osaze-Uzzi said that contrary to media reports that two
parallel conventions of PDP would hold in Abuja and
Port Harcourt same day, there was only one PDP
known to INEC, which had conducted congresses at all
levels.
His words: “There is only one PDP known to INEC,
which has been holding congresses at the ward, local
government, state and zonal levels. There is only one
convention known to the laws and regulations of INEC
for which we were given appropriate notice and that is
the one in Port Harcourt.”
Osaze-Uzzi said that the commission would monitor
elections to all offices at the Port Harcourt convention,
noting that “expect that of National Chairman, National
Secretary and National Auditor following a court order
of which INEC has been served’’.
“As a law abiding institution, INEC is not going to
monitor elections into these three positions because of
the court order, except where there is contrary court
order before Saturday.
“But, for every other remaining position, we are going
to monitor,” he said.
A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos had stopped the
PDP from electing anyone into offices of national
chairman, national secretary and national auditor of the
party at the Saturday convention.
The court restrained INEC from monitoring and or
recognizing the conduct of any election into the
affected offices pending the hearing and determination
of a substantive suit on it.
