The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied serving Senator Rochas Okorocha a suspension letter from the party, stressing that, the party does not currently have a National Working Committee (NWC).
Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, national secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), said it is sad that fifth columnist have taken advantage of leaks from the party secretariat.
“It has come to the attention of the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that a fake letter of a purported suspension of Senator Rochas Okorocha from the party is circulating in the public space,” Akpanudoedehe said.
“Fifth columnists and forgers have obviously taken advantage of the unfortunate and recent leaks of our official correspondences to copy and paste forged signatures of the CECPC Chairman and Secretary on equally fake letters.
“The APC does not currently have a “National Working Committee” as stated in the fake letter, but a Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) which has been saddled with the mandate to reposition, unite and strengthen our great party.
“We call on the discerning public to be wary of fifth columnists and jobbers relentlessly scheming to use every opportunity to stoke crisis in the party and polity through fake news. We also urge the media to always rely on our well-known and official communication and publicity channels to get information on the activities of the party.
“We urge everyone to discountenance the fake letter as it is a figment of the imagination of fifth columnists,” the APC said.
