The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s call on INEC to cancel its just concluded National Convention showed that it is ignorant of electoral rules and internal party operations.
Malam Bolaji Abudullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary made the call in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
”We read with dismay, but without surprise PDP’s statement calling on INEC to annul the results of the highly successful National Convention of our party held last Saturday” he said.
Abudullahi maintained that the APC election guidelines provided that all party positions prescribed by its Constitution could be filled by democratically conducted elections or by consensus.
This he explained, was provided that where a candidate had emerged by consensus for an elective position, a yes or no vote was called for to ensure that it was not an imposition.
“This was clearly adhered to in many positions, including the National Chairmanship position which was unopposed.
“But we understand PDP’s problem, they are terrified by Oshiomole, they know that with him they will no longer have breathing space.
“Hence, the baseless allegations peddling and conspiracy theory which we are now accustomed to as part of PDP’s sorry attempt to play ‘opposition politics,” he said.
