The Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared as unconstitutional the
purported suspension of the National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand
Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh and the National Secretary, Alhaji Sani
Shinkafi.
The duo were suspended by members of the National
Working Committee of the party led by Alhaji Sadeeq Massala.
In a letter signed by the secretary to the commission,
Alhaji Abdullahi Kaigama, the Commission also declared that the Massala group
does not have the authorization to hold a NEC meeting as was held on July 16th,
2012.
The Commission further declared that it cannot stop
the National Chairman of APGA from convening a proper meeting of the National
Executive Committee of the party.
The letter, addressed to Chief Umeh and dated July
26th was a response to several letters from the party inviting the commission
to observe the events that have taken place in the party in recent times.
The party has recently been embroiled in a leadership
tussle after some members of the party declared a vote of no confidence on
Chief Umeh.
