Governor Mai Mala Buni-led All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), on Monday, denied timetable for the party’s congresses and national convention being circulated on social media and news media, describing the action as handiwork of political jobbers.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the party’s national secretary, Senator John Akpanudoedehe. The party says it is the handiwork of political jobbers parading themselves as media sources. APC warns the media, party members and general public to disregard what it termed misinformation, antics and schemes of the fifth columnists.
The statement reads in details
Re: Misinformation on Congresses, National Convention, Handiwork of Political Jobbers – APC
Our attention has been drawn to obviously coordinated and syndicated misinformation being circulated in some sections of the media on purported plans and timetable for Congresses and the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is the handiwork of political jobbers parading themselves as media sources. The media, party members and indeed the general public should be wary and completely disregard the misinformation, antics and schemes of these fifth columnists.
We have never lied on our party activities and we simply have no reason to. The consultative Party leadership style instituted by Governor Mai Mala Buni as Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) has institutionalised the APC as a party of processes and internal democracy.
The CECPC is focused and is delivering its mandate to recover, rebuild and reposition the APC as well as achieve peace-building, true reconciliation and to give a sense of belonging to every member of the Party.
On Monday 17th May 2021, the APC National Secretariat resumed from the Sallah break and will also resume work on several ongoing and important party activities. As usual, we will promptly communicate outcomes of these activities through official channels when available.
SIGNED:
Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, Ph.D.
National Secretary
Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC)
All Progressives Congress (APC)
