The All Progressives Congress Delta State in a joint statement issued by the State chairman Prophet Jones Ode Erue and State Secretary Comrade Okonji Chidi on behalf of the SWC in reaction to a misleading and mischievous report on Thisday newspaper with the caption,
“Delta APC Faction Adopts Direct Primaries “wherein a group of individuals impersonating and falsely masquerading themselves as APC executives and stakeholders were said to have adopted a position on behalf of the party in their desperate bid to confer undue relevance to themselves and deceive the unsuspecting public as no faction exists in Delta APC.
The party wishes to warn these groups of mischief makers to desist forthwith from their acts of brigadage noting that the publication is laced with falsehood and mischievous as no individual or group is authorised to speak for the party except the State chairman Prophet Jones Ode Erue and statutory organs of the party so directed to do so.
The party said, the statement is an attempt to deceive genuine members of the Party and the reading public.
The party further stressed, that no such resolution and position had been taken by the SWC.
Meanwhile, the party has slated a meeting at the State Secretariat in Asaba, where crucial decisions bothering on the overall advancement of the party and also the mode of party primaries to be adopted will be taken.
Party faithful are therefore enjoined to disregard the story in its entirety while awaiting the official position of the party as regards the mode of Primaries.
