The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) has denied the media report that it will not register the proposed political association, All Democratic Alliance (ADA), at the moment because it is yet to meet requirement.
INEC’s National Commissioner Sam Olumekun was quoted to have said that there are several letters of intent before the commission but none has met requirements to proceed for formal registration application.
“The truth is that we have so many letters of intent presently and none of them is an application yet.
“They must first meet the criteria before submitting a letter of intent,” Olumekun who is also Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee was quoted.
But Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi described the report as “an example of junk journalism.”
Oyekanmi wondered when the author of the story who is in Awka, Anambra State, interviewed the National Commissioner.
“This is an example of junk publications giving journalism a bad name,” he added.
