Our petition at the elections tribunal shall be pursued with resoluteness and undiminished fervency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the former National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Dennis Aghanya has threatened to drag the party&#8217;s national leadership before Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for misappropriation of funds during the general elections.<\/p>\n<p>Aghanja accused the CPC National Executive Council (NEC) of mismanaging funds meant for electoral process.<\/p>\n<p>He also alleged that the leadership of the CPC in some states were chosen overnight without recourse to laid down rules and regulations of the party and the 2010 Electoral Act.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were accorded the status of state chairmen of the party overnight even when they do not have party membership cards, never participated in the state congresses and their names not with INEC as chairmen who emerged at the congresses. As party chairmen, they do not have offices and operate as man-alone. They were only seen at the party national secretariat when monies were shared,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>More here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201105170873.html\" title=\"CPC - PDP's Arrest of Our Leadership Imminent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CPC &#8211; PDP&#8217;s Arrest of Our Leadership Imminent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Adebiyi Adedapo 17 May 2011 Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) has accused the ruling People&#8217;s Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to carry out a mass arrest on notable leaders of the party.
