Delta State Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has disowned claims by some people to holding positions at the various levels of the party – wards, local government areas, senatorial districts and at the state headquarter as fake.
It said the publication by them as fraudulent, a ruse and of no consequence while the signatories to the said publication are not only dubious impostors, but very reckless with their publication.
Elder Omeni Sobotie, state chairman and Peter Akarogbe, state secretary of the APC in a disclaimer dated April 3, 2023, described them as \rabble rousing impostors.
They were apparently referring to a recent publication which claimed the suspension of Deputy Senate President and the party’s governorship candidate in the March 18, 2023 poll.
“We are the legitimate and only recognised State Executive Committee of the party at the national headquarters in consultations with all other levels in the chain.
Their publication should be disregarded and ignored as the handiwork of mischief makers by all party faithful and the general public.
“The Executive Committee members of the APC at the wards, local governments, senatorial districts and state levels, were duly elected at the different congresses organised by the party. They remain legitimate and still hold their offices and positions in accordance with the APC Constitution.
“The various levels of the Executive Committees of the All Progressives Congress at the wards, local governments, senatorial districts and the state, were elected by bona fide members of the party, in an open transparent process, duly designated, approved and coordinated by the National Headquarters.
“In the light of the foregoing, the names of the Executive Committee members of the APC at the wards, local governments, senatorial districts and the state, are in the national secretariat of the party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which duly monitored the congresses as required by law.
“Consequent on the above, the signatories to the said publication are not only dubious impostors, but very reckless with their publication. In this regard, their claims could cause a breach of public peace and must not be permitted.
“The Nigerian Police Force, DSS and other security agencies are enjoined to take note of the wanton rascality and the unscrupulous intent to cause disharmony and a breach of public peace.
“The general public, party faithful and stakeholders are therefore advised to discountenance the said publication, and view it as the worthless undertaking of men with crooked intentions” they stated.
