APC Slams PDP For Bankrolling Story Against Nat Sec

The All Progressives Congress, APC has accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP of bankrolling the story in which its National Secretary, Senator John Akpanudoedehe was quoted as saying that he would definitely be the APC governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom State.

Debunking the claim as the handiwork of political jobbers bankrolled by the PDP, the APC’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini in a statement said the 2023 contest would be an open contest for all eligible party members, the publicity scribe said:

“While it is understood that some news outlets may resort to sensationalism and yellow journalism for public attention, this particular misrepresented report bothers on outright fake news as the entire report and ascribed quotes alluded to Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe could not support the bogus headline.

“We urge the public to disregard the fake report in its entirety. It is apparently politically-motivated and as our checks reveal sponsored by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State.

“The APC CECPC in which Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe serves as National Secretary is in the important and ongoing process of repositioning the Party and ensuring internal democracy in our decision making and election processes.

“When the time comes for the Akwa Ibom State Governorship and other elections, qualified and deserving party members will be allowed to participate in an open, free, fair and credible process.

“At the weekend, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe addressed the media at the National Union of Journalist (NUJ) Secretariat Uyo, the state capital as part of activities to mark his 57th birthday anniversary.”
