The National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Felix Morka, has said that aspirants seeking particular positions at the forthcoming national convention should read guidelines before paying any money to get forms.
Morka said this on Wednesday while responding to questions
in an interview on Arise Television.
He noted that the APC published information and guidelines
that include an account number, adding that anyone who paid money chose to do
so.
According to him, paying money for the form of an office
they are seeking to contest was not enough.
DAILY POST had reported that some APC aspirants had
complained about the inability to acquire the forms after paying money and
meeting all the necessary requirements.
Reacting, Morka said, “Party members should read the
guidelines before making payments. Every individual who paid money chose to do
so and when they paid that money, they are presumed to already be fully aware
and conscious of all the rules that apply.
“We are the largest party in this country and maybe on the
continent. So when you gather so many people together to pass through a narrow
process of selection of those who govern the party, you are almost necessarily
bound to have disagreements.
“Our Congress is governed by rules, by guidelines, by the
party’s constitution. So it means that when we put out a call for expression of
interest for people to compete for available positions, they are required to
follow laid down procedures of the party.
“Because what I hear is that people said they paid money.
Yes, that’s true. That was prescribed for setting the office that perhaps they
are seeking to contest but paying money is not enough. There’s also the zoning
formula,” the party spokesman said.
