INEC says no tenure extension for embattled former ADC Chairman
***Asks BOT Chairperson to conduct convention
The hope of another tenure extension for the ousted former National chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Ralph Nwosu has been dashed as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reliably told him to perish the ambition
Nwosu who had been at the helm of affairs of the party for 17years before his tenure expired on August 28, 2022 made clandestine moves for his tenure to be extended by hook or crook before the State chapter chairmen of the party resisted.
The electoral umpire said any action taken after the said date by the former chairman and NWC is null and void as it won’t be recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The Commission maintained that by the constitution of the ADC the only authority recognized is the BOT Chairman Mrs. Patricia Akwashiki and the NEC of the party made up of the State Chairmen.
The Independent National Electoral Commission’s position is that the BOT Chairman must conduct a national convention to usher in a new NWC.
