The All Progressives Congress has disowned members of the factional Reformed-All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n
The APC said it had initiated a probe into the membership status of some persons purporting to be leaders of the new group.<\/p>\n
This was contained in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, in Abuja, on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The party said, \u201cOn Wednesday, July 4, 2018, a group of individuals announced itself as \u2018Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC)\u2019 at a press conference held in Abuja. By its actions, this group has attempted to create the impression that our party is factionalised. This is not true.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe All Progressives Congress wishes to affirm that there is no faction in our party and declares the action by these individuals as mischievous and ill-advised.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The APC said it would continue to monitor developments, adding that it would defend its unity and protect its identity.<\/p>\n
It stated, \u201cWe are currently reviewing the action of this so-called faction in order to determine if any aspect of the party\u2019s constitution has been breached with the connivance of any of our members.\u201d<\/p>\n
The APC assured party members who had genuine grievances that the new leadership of the party was committed to addressing such grievances as quickly as possible in a manner that would ensure justice was done to all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
