INEC approves Mega Party name change

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has approved the
change of Mega Progressive People's Party (MPPP) name to Mega Party of
Nigeria (MPN).

Hamisu Santuraki, the National Chairman of the party and the National
Secretary, Alhaji Mohammed Shombi Kanze, confirmed to Daily Trust
yesterday in Abuja that INEC approved the decision of the party
members.

Santuraki said the party would meet to change its logo, after the
proposed one was rejected by INEC.

INEC, in a letter of approval, said it approved the new name for the
party in accordance with the relevant provisions of the constitution
of the party.

Meanwhile, the forum of state chairmen who were also automatic members
of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, disowned a
purported national convention in Abuja organised by a former acting
national chairman of the party, Olayinka Akanni.
