THE Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) in the Southeast has warned the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, against the planned deregistration of parties.
At its zonal meeting in Awka, Anambra State, yesterday,CNPP described the move as unconstitutional.
It congratulated President Goodluck Jonathan on his victory in the April 16 election.
The meeting was attended by its Chairmen from Anambra, Isaac Onuka; Enugu, Chris Asadu; Imo, Mrs. Ada Mere; and Abia, Henry Atulomah.
Others are Ukadike Chinedu and Prof. Chinedum Adiele,its Secretary.
CNPP said in a communique after the meeting that Jega’s plan would lead to the disenfranchisement of some Nigerians.
The communiqué reads in part: "We want to use this opportunity to appeal to our brothers and sisters to realise that the country belongs to all of us. Let us avoid anything capable of inciting violence and look for peace which is the only condition for prosperity and social development.
"Therefore, let us support our president to make our nation the pride of Africa."
CNPP assured Jonathan of its support and reminded him of the deplorable condition of Southeast roads.
