The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that those who could not cause confusion and disrupt the recently held national convention of the party are behind the formation of reformed APC (rAPC).
In a statement today, Friday, the APC National Publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi said that while investigation is ongoing to establish the true colour of those behind it, preliminary investigation showed that those behind the rAPC are not the core members of the party.
“Having failed to scuttle the National Convention as was their original plan, they now resort to this subterfuge as a way of achieving the pre-determined end of causing confusion.
“As a matter of fact, we doubt that these individuals parading as leaders of the so called faction are actual members of our Party. We are currently investigating their true membership status within the Party.”
Bolaji said that while the party leaders will continue to monitor developments in this respect, “we will not hesitate to take lawful actions to defend the unity of our Party and protect the sanctity of its identity.
“We are currently reviewing the action of this so-called faction in order to determine if any aspect of the Party’s constitution has been breached with the connivance of any of our members.
“For those members who have genuine grievances, we want to assure them of the commitment of the new leadership of the party to address those grievances as quickly as possible in a manner that ensures that justice is done to all.”
Bolaji stressed that there is no faction in APC and even as he declared the action by the rAPC members as mischievous and ill-advised
It will be recalled that on Wednesday, July 4, a group of individuals announced itself as ‘Reformed All Progressives Congress (APC)’ at a press conference held in Abuja.
