The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has provided
reasons for its decision to adjust its presidential primary election timetable.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Felix
Morka, on Wednesday, announced that the presidential primary of the party has
been rescheduled to hold on May 29th, 2022.
Recall that the primary was earlier scheduled to hold
between May 30 and June 1, 2022.
Morka disclosed this while addressing journalists on
Wednesday after the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, but did not
go into details as to why the decision was made.
However, appearing on Channels Television on Wednesday
evening, the party’s mouthpiece explained, among other reasons, that the
adjustment was made to enable the party’s committee review and ensure that all
of the steps that it is taking complied with both its constitution and also the
Electoral Act.
According to Morka, “The APC, like other political parties,
are working with a very tight time frame which was rolled out by INEC. And
given the volume of work we have to do, we feel that pressure.
“So, we try to meet that deadline and then again without compromising
the integrity of the work we’re doing. So, we’ve adjusted the time to enable us
to review and ensure that all of the steps that we’re taking comply with both
our constitution and also the Electoral Act.
“So, it’s time we’ve decided to afford to ensure that not
only we’re just working to comply, but to comply properly.
“We’re buying a little time to ensure that if there were
glitches, we’re going to fix them before we have to push information to INEC.
Because if they move to INEC, you can’t recall them.”
