APC Withdrawal Letter: A Legal Perspective by OpatolaEsq: 7:26am On May 07, 2022
Anybody picking the APC presidential form should know that immediately he signs before Commisioner for Oath or Notarize the Voluntary Withdrawal Letter attached to the APC Form, he has voluntarily and automatically withdrawn himself.

Simple.

Withdrawal takes effect on its on, upon signing and submitting.
It does not need any other external action to be fulfilled.

Section 31 of Electoral Act, 2022

"A candidate may withdraw his or her candidature by notice in writing signed by him and delivered personally by the candidate to the Political Party that nominated him for the election and the political party shall convey such withdrawal to the Commission not later than 90 days to the election."

By the provision of the above section, all a candidate needs to do is to write a withdrawal letter, sign it and submit it in person to the Party.

By the use of the word "Shall" in the section, once the candidate submits it, the Party must compulsorily give such letter to INEC atleast 90 days before election.

I won't believe this news 100% until the APC confirms it.
