This presupposes that any such body must be legally operating as a political party under INEC rules and guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe APC, having been defunct on December 8, 2020, when it dissolved its National, States as well as Local Government structures ceases, in the eyes of the law, to be a political party and as such cannot be subject of INEC\u2019s regulations with particular reference to its supposed National Convention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor emphasis, the APC Caretaker\/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) was established for the singular purpose of organizing the APC National Convention in 2020. The Committee violated the Constitution and the Electoral Act by engaging in party administration, conducting congresses to produce officers at the various state Chapters as well as delegates for APC National Convention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn any event, the CECPC by its composition with a state governor, H.E Mai Mala Buni as Chairman is illegal and unconstitutional by reason of Section 183 of the Nigerian Constitution which bars a sitting governor from holding \u201cany other executive office in any capacity whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn going beyond its mandate, the CECPC acted ultra vires and all administrative acts purportedly done or deemed to have been done by this Committee are null and void and void ab-initio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dTo this effect, delegates to the APC purported National Convention produced by congresses conducted by the CECPC are at best-handicapped delegates with leprous fingers who cannot deliver any vote to produce a valid and legal political leadership for the APC. INEC should therefore not waste public resources to monitor a jamboree that would be of no legal or electoral effect under our laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PDP added that those contesting election on the platform of the APC \u201care on a voyage that leads to nowhere\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to monitor the national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
