APC Denies Reports Of Parallel Congresses In States

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to cases of parallel congresses in some states of the federation.

Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary of the party, in a statement on Monday, stated that there is no such thing as parallel congress.

There were reports that such cases were recorded in Oyo, Kogi among others.

But Abdullahi said: “The only congress recognised by the Party is that conducted in accordance with the Party constitution, which was organised by the congress committee charged by the Party to organise such congress.

“We therefore regard any so-called parallel congresses as exercise in futility and attempt to cause confusion in the Party.

“We wish to reiterate that any Party member who has any genuine grievances regarding the congresses should channel such through the Appeals Committee in their respective states.”
