Nigerian Senator representing Kogi West, Mr. Dino Melaye, has taken a swipe at his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party over parallel congresses in some of their state chapters.
Everybody wants to be in control. So, different factions of the APC have conducted their own congresses in Enugu, Imo, Delta, Kogi, etc.
“Congratulations to the 72 new State Chairmen of APC. Every where na double double. What a blessed party!!!!” Melaye tweeted on Saturday evening.
Established rule is that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would not recognise factional or parallel congresses by political parties except congresses approved by the National Working Committee (NWC) of parties.
