APGA boss hails INEC’s examplary conduct in 2023 poll

The National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Sly Ezeokenwa, has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) for its exemplary conduct during the 2023 General Elections.

Ezeokenwa who made the commendation during a verification visit by INEC at the APGA National Secretariat in Abuja also applauded the commission for its diligent discharge of duties as well as its amicable rapport with APGA

He reaffirmed the party’s status as a national institution for democracy and progressive studies where the tenets of democracy were not just abided by, but also passed on to the next generations.

The INEC Election and Party Monitoring team, led by Ms. Hawa Habibu, paid a visit to the APGA National Chairman as part of the commission’s annual verification of political parties.

Ms. Habibu highlighted the constitutional mandate of the commission, which she said included ensuring compliance with constitutional provisions related to the number and structure of party offices in Abuja, auditing of party finances, and other pertinent matters.

The INEC team, in turn, acknowledged the proactive approach of APGA, lauding the party for its dedication to upholding provisions of the constitution specifically section 225.

This reciprocal appreciation underscored a mutual commitment to maintaining a robust and transparent electoral framework.

Our correspondent gathered that Section 225 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) states that every political party shall, at such times and in such manner as the INEC determines, publish a statement of its assets and liabilities.
