Nigeria: APC Registration - We Still Have Legal Right of APC Says Rival Group

By Johnbosco Agbakwuru, 1 August 2013

Abuja — THE African Peoples Congress, one of the political associations contesting the APC acronym with the registered All Progressives Congress, Thursday said that the decision by the National Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, to register the All Progressives Congress does not take away its legal right over the APC acronym.

The group also lampooned the commission saying that the registration of APC despite the pending court matter was a deliberate plan by the commission to plunge the country into anarchy.

National Chairman of African peoples Congress, Chief Onyinye Ikeagwuonu in a news briefing at the association's headquarters in Abuja, said despite what he described as a set back, his group would continue with the preparations to contest the Anambra governorship election slated for November this year.
