The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of engaging in bare-faced lies and manipulation of facts by claiming that the phantom African Peoples Congress has applied to the commission for registration.
.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the INEC claim, as articulated by Mr. Kayode Idowu, the spokesman for INEC Chairman, is not supported by the relevant sections of the Electoral Act regulating the registration of a political party.
.
It said the truth of the matter is that no party today with the acronym APC has applied to INEC to be registered, adding that even the phantom African Peoples Congress – which is being sponsored by the PDP to lay claim to the acronym – has only written a letter of intent, which has not even been discussed by INEC, not to talk of the commission taking any decision on it.
.
"The statement credited to Mr. Idowu is therefore reckless and provocative and clearly betrays INEC as truly having merged with the PDP to frustrate the merger of the progressives under the banner of the All Progressives' Congress (APC). One wonders who the spokesman is speaking for and what interest he represents. He should therefore be called to order before he sets the country ablaze," ACN said.
