Senator Ahmed Makarfi
The crisis rocking the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
has taken a new twist as some top members of the Senator Ahmed Makarfi
faction are said to have applied to the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) to register an alternative platform.
A correspondent gathered that if all goes well, the new political
party would be known as the Advanced Peoples Democratic Party (APDP).
Investigation revealed that the aggrieved PDP members approached
the commission with an application shortly after the judgment of the
Port Harcourt High Court which sacked the Makarfi led caretaker
committee in favour of Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff’s faction of the party.
At present, INEC has no fewer than 50 applications from various interest groups seeking to be registered as political parties.
It was, however, gathered that INEC was not disposed to the
registration of the APDP in order not to throw up a fresh political
scandal that would taint the image of the commission.
A top official of the PDP who confided in a reporter yesterday said
that INEC initially resisted the move to register the new party by
arguing that it would be wrong for the commission to register a party
with similar name with the PDP.
The source, who would not want his name in print, said the
commission later accepted the application for the new party last week to
commence the process of registration.
“We are making alternative efforts to register a new political
party ahead of the 2019 elections. Initially, INEC was trying to dismiss
it on the ground that the new name had PDP in it but we pointed out to
them that our party is different in that it has ‘Advanced’ added to the
PDP, which is not the same as PDP.
“We have started the process; at least the application is with
them. That is the first phase, and they have not contacted us for the
second phase, which is the payment of the requisite N1 million and fill
their form,” the source said.
Contacted, the Chief Press Secretary to the Chairman of INEC, Mr
Rotimi Oyekanmi, said that he was not aware of the application to
register the new party.
