The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Independwnt National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister the All Progressives Conbress (APC) following the latter’s dissolving of its national, zonal and state structures.
Writing on its official twitter page, PDP said APC has finally dissolved out of our political firmament.
The party said: “APC being overburdened by the weight of failure, humongous corruption as well as the plagues of economic recession, violence, killings and hardship it has brought to our people, forcefully exited itself from the nation’s political firmament by dissolving all its national, zonal and state structures.
“With this exit, December 8, 2020 has gone into the history of our nation as liberation day, especially given the spontaneous jubilation by Nigerians over this step towards political oblivion by a political party that has brought so much pain on them.
“Now that the @OfficialAPCNg has become defunct, the @OfficialPDPNig invites the @inecnigeria to officially deregister the @OfficialAPCNg and recall its certificate of registration, given that it no longer has operational structures as required by law.”
The party said INEC should immediately declare the seat of all lawmakers elected on the platform of APC at the federal and state levels as vacant and commence the process of bye-election to fill the seats, as required by law.
“Furthermore, government agencies, civil society organizations as well as the international community should immediately gazette the @OfficialAPCNg as a defunct political organization in our country.
“Nevertheless, the @OfficialPDPNig invites all leaders of the fizzled @OfficialAPCNg to get ready to answer Nigerians for their misdeeds, and not to think they can get away with their atrocities by forming or joining another political party.”
