The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN)
says the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has fulfilled the mandatory
requirements for registration as a mega political party.
APC is a fusion of four political
parties, ACN, ANPP, CPC and a faction of APGA championed by Rochas Okoroacha.

Reacting to rumours that INEC might
not register the party, National Publicity Secretary of ACN, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed said in spite of recent media reports, the emerging party's leadership
has no doubt that in the end, INEC will do what is right in accordance with the
law. Lai Mohammed dismissed as a mere speculation the report that INEC was
planning to write a letter to the proponents of APC to find another name
because of a court case instituted by a political association over the APC
acronym.
The party expressed satisfaction with the statement
credited to Kayode Idowu, spokesman for the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega,
that there is no court injunction compelling the Commission to stop the merger.
The ACN appealed to supporters of the emerging APC to remain calm over the
registration issue.
