‘APC Has Fulfilled Conditions For Registration’

All Progressives Congress (APC) says it has fulfilled all prerequisite conditions for its registration by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a political party.

Mr Mustapher Saliu, Deputy National Chairman, Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), announced this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Thursday.
Saliu, who added that that all processes had been done according to the specified laws, said members were now waiting for INEC to “fully register” the association.
“So we will wait for INEC for its response and at the same time, we will continue to mobilise members and put our house in order,” he said.
He Saliu said that the essence of the meeting of the merger committee and the leadership of the merging parties on Wednesday was to consider what had been done so far and the way forward.
He expressed optimism that APC would offer better opportunities to Nigeria and alternative to insecurity and other corrupt tendencies, if finally registered.
The deputy national chairman urged all Nigerians to have faith in the democratic process which the country had chosen.
He further appealed to Nigerians to make sure that their “votes count and counts for the right candidate”.
The deputy national chairman said that it would give the voters the courage to hold those in leadership position accountable for what they had done.
Saliu said the proposed CPC membership data registration would be left for APC to carry out when fully registered as a political party.
On Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), he said CPC would like the bill to be passed into law, to create enabling environment for greater gains in the sector. (NAN)
