THE Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied the reports published in some national newspapers Monday, that it has rejected a bid by some political parties to merge as the All Progressives Congress (APC). INEC in a statement by its Chief Press Secretary, Kayode Idowu, said: “This is to affirm that the newspapers reports are utterly false. The Commission has not written to stop the merger bid as APC.
He said: The Commission, in a letter by its Secretary dated April 23, 2013, only declined an application by another association seeking to register as the All Progressives Congress of Nigeria (APCN), for the reason that the acronym proposed by the association is similar to that of another already seeking registration.
“The Commission hereby reassures Nigerians that it will always do the right thing as a dispassionate and impartial regulator of the political process,” INEC said.
