PDP REJECTS INEC'S INTERFERENCE IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected what it describes as unwarranted interference by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in its internal affairs. 

The party stated that INEC lacks the constitutional power to regulate its meetings, such as National Executive Committee (NEC) sessions, unless they involve the election of party officers or candidates.

PDP's National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, argued that INEC is only required to be notified of conventions, congresses, or primaries involving the election of party officers or candidates, adding that the party had duly notified INEC of its upcoming NEC meeting, but the commission raised concerns over the signatories to the PDP's letter.

The PDP accused INEC of attempting to undermine the party and frustrate its internal processes under the guise of regulation, with Ologunagba questioning the motives of INEC's Acting Secretary, Halilu Aminu, and calling on the electoral commission to investigate his actions. 

He also dismissed reports suggesting that INEC had canceled the PDP's NEC meeting, describing them as false and laughable.
