INEC Snub Confirms APC’s Ineligibility for 2023 General Election – PDP

The All Progressives Congress, APC cannot legally field candidates for the 2023 General Election following the letter from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC snubbing its scheduled National Executive Committee, NEC and rejecting proposals for the party’s national convention, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has said.

Reacting to the developments in the ruling party in a statement late on Friday, the PDP insisted that the legitimacy to field candidates for elections in Nigeria.

“This decision by INEC is therefore another unmistaken ‘red flag’ to intending aspirants on the platform of the APC in the 2023 general elections that the APC has become defunct and cannot validly, legally and constitutionally field candidates in the 2023 general elections,” Hon. Debo Ologunagba National Publicity Secretary of the party said in the statement made available to GreenWhiteGreen GWG.

He said:

“Our Party draws attention to the grave import of INEC’s letter to the APC, dated March 9, 2022 to the effect that APC’s NEC meeting scheduled for Thursday March 17, 2022 will not be recognized by the Commission due to invalid notice; a development that will invalidate any decision reached at such meeting.

“Furthermore, INEC’s reference to the failure of the APC to give the required 21-day notice for its National Convention confirms the invalidity and unconstitutionality of any National Convention conducted by the APC’s illegal Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC).

“As it stands today, regardless of the boldface escapist excuses, the Sword of Damocles hangs precariously on the status of the contraption called CECPC and the APC itself. This signals an existential threat to the soulless, precipice-bound bunch of pretenders masquerading as a political party.

“The PDP had earlier informed Nigerians, especially intending aspirants on the platform of the APC that the APC became legally non-operational when in December 8, 2020 it dissolved its National, State as well as Local Government structures and handed its affairs over to an illegal body.

“Moreover, the PDP informs such aspirants that the widespread intractable infighting for the soul of the defunct APC by ferocious ‘political warlords’ is not for election purposes but in desperation for the control of APC structures as pedestals to further pillage public fund before and during the elections,” the PDP said in drawing attention to its claim of the ineligibility of the APC for the 2023 General Election.
