APC Denies ‘Rumour’ of Leadership Change

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as false rumours the story going round that the Chairman of its Caretaker Extraordinary and Convention Planning Committee, Mai Mala Buni, has been sacked.

The party described the report as fake news that should be disregarded by the general public.

This was contained in a statement by the Secretary of the Committee, John Akpanudoedehe.

He said the APC is a progressive political party that is guided by rules, adding that leadership change is not announced by sources through name dropping in the media.

The statement read in full:

“Our attention has been drawn to sponsored media reports on an imaginary leadership change in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC).

The media report is fake news and should be disregarded.

The APC is a progressive political party guided by rules. Leadership changes are not announced by ‘sources’ through name dropping in the media.

We urge our teeming supporters, members and indeed the general public to remain calm and support the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC CECPC conduct a rancour-free and credible National Convention deserving of our great party. “
