APC Registration Saga - is ACN APC? Lagos PDP faults action, seeks probe

ALLEGING abuse of due process, the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for a probe into the registration of All Progressives Congress (APC).

 Speaking on the issue Wednesday, the state’s PDP Publicity Secretary, Taofeek Gani, said the probe “is imperative in view of the pending suit on the original ownership of the acronym, APC.”

 He added: “The suit is still pending and one would expect that actions must be stayed. Why should INEC flout this judicial rule.”

 The party stressed further that there is a skeleton in somebody’s wardrobe. This probe must thus start now and if the process of confirmation of the name is found to be tainted, then Professor Attahiru Jega should be sanctioned.”

The party however, stressed that the registration notwithstanding, the acronym APC gives no advantage to the party, stating that the frustration that led to the re-branding would still manifest as the people are no longer cajoled by the name of  a party but would look out for the personalities in that party.

He also queried why the parties rushed to merge and not adopt one of their original names. “It is because none of those names can sell any candidate again. Their only option is to re-brand. Unfortunately a bad product remains bad, even if its name changes.”

The PDP added that as far as Lagos was concerned, re-branding to APC is the worst mistake by the ACN because it has now lost its South West  followership because of the  over ambition to win the presidency.  -Guardian
