The Benue State All Progressives Congress, APC, under the leadership of Austin Agada, has warned against unauthorised meetings being masqueraded as congresses.

 

 

The party stated that it had received reports of unscrupulous individuals allegedly convening meetings across various local government areas in the state under the guise of holding APC congresses.

 

This was contained in a statement on Monday by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Daniel Ihomun.

 

 

“We wish to make it categorically clear that the legitimate Executive Committee of the APC in Benue State has not authorised any such meetings. Likewise, the National Secretariat of our great party has not issued any directive for congresses to be held either in Benue State or anywhere across Nigeria at this time. For the avoidance of doubt, the APC in Benue State is not conducting any congress.

 

“While individuals are free to hold private meetings, they must desist from using the name of our party to mislead members or bring the APC into disrepute. We therefore advise all faithful members of our great party to disregard any such gatherings being falsely presented as official APC congresses,” he said in the statement.

 

Ihomun added that only the state and national secretariats of APC have the authority to sanction such activities.
