From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately deregister the opposition coalition party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over what it described as lack of electoral value ahead of next year’s general elections.
Speaking at a press conference held at the ruling party’s national secretariait in Abuja, today, the National Secretary, Barr Ajibola Basiru, mocked that ADC’s acclaimed political dominance in the country has not translated into electoral value.
He expressed fury over what he described as the opposition coalition demonising the electoral umpire, by demanding the resignation of the chairman, Prof Joash Ojo Amupitan and the entire INEC National Commissioners over the decision to sack the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the ADC.
“There have been several elections held since the coalition of confusion came into existence. They will boast yet will not win any single seats. They claimed that the FCT Area Council elections will be a litmus test, yet they could not win one out of the six chairmanship positions neither did they win any seat in the 62 Councilorship seats.

“In fact, we advice INEC to deregister the coalition of confusion party because they have no electoral value. They cannot be demonising INEC by calling for the sack of the chairman and National Commissioners.
“Assuming that the electoral umpire boss and the Commissioners are sacked, who will appoint the next set of people taking over from them. Instead of seeking court redress they are calling for the sack of the electoral umpire management.
“They are not ready to obey the law but preferred to threaten to go ahead with it’s scheduled activities including the conduct of the convention which shows that they have no regards for the court of law.
“Since they are not just ready for elections,they cannot collapse the institution. It will be disingenuous for them to blame President Tinubu and the APC if they disobey the court. They have to put their house in order and stop blaming Tinubu or the APC,” the National Secretarysaid.
