Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that Chief Adebisi Akande, the pioneer national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), described the ongoing registration exercise of the party as unnecessary and aberration.
It was reported that Akande, who said this on Wednesday, February 3, at his registration centre in Ila Oragun, Osun state, stressed that the present APC membership registration is an indefensible aberration leading to certain ugly perceptions.
He said the major perception is that APC leadership might be wasteful and unappreciative of the proper use of money in a kind of scanty economy in which Nigeria now finds itself.
In other news, in its efforts to oust the ruling APC from Aso Rock in 2023, some prominent leaders of thoughts under the aegis of the National Consultative Front (NCF) said they are set to launch a mega political movement aimed at rescuing the country.
