The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State has announced that it will not be participating in the local government elections scheduled for November 2, 2024.
This decision was made public during a joint meeting of the party’s state executives and local government chairmen held in Umuahia.
The party cited a lack of official communication from the Abia State Independent Electoral Commission (ABSIEC) as the primary reason for its withdrawal.
The State Assistant Secretary and acting Publicity Secretary of the APC, Engr. Sterling Uruakpa, explained that the party cannot rely on information disseminated via social media platforms regarding the elections.
He emphasized the importance of ABSIEC using proper and official channels to convey important updates and details to the party.
The APC stressed the need for transparency and inclusiveness in the election process to maintain credibility among all stakeholders involved.
Uruakpa stated, “The All Progressives Congress is the ruling political party in Nigeria and the biggest party in Africa and will not tolerate any form of contempt or disrespect from ABSIEC.
“ABSIEC must follow due process in their activities, ensure inclusiveness, and provide a level playing field for all the parties in order to gain the confidence and trust of the political parties and the people.”
