The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Tuesday told the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that it should adhere to the Supreme Court judgement on the position of its national secretary.
The electoral body also told the PDP leaders comprising of governors, members of the National Working Committee (NWC) Board of Trustees (BoT), members and some lawmakers elected on the platform of the party, that it will only accept correspondences signed by the national chairman and national secretary of the party, it was gathered.
It was further gathered that the meeting was called at the instance of the PDP, following the refusal of INEC to accept its notification of a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting slated for the end of this month. INEC had rejected the letter on the grounds that it was not signed by the chairman and secretary of the party. Only the acting chairman, Umar Damagum signed the letter.
