The All Progressives Congress (APC), has described as fake and imaginary, the report in some sections of the media, of a purported leadership change in the party.

Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, the National Secretary, APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CPC), said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja, in a reaction to the report.

“Our attention has been drawn to sponsored media reports of an imaginary leadership change in the APC CECPC. The media report is fake news and should be disregarded.

“The APC is a progressive political party guided by rules. Leadership changes are not announced by ‘sources’ through name dropping in the media,” Akpankudohede said.

He, therefore urged the party’s teeming supporters, members, and the general public, to remain calm.

The APC stalwart also asked members of the party to continue to support the Gov. Mai Mala Buni-led APC CECPC, to conduct rancour-free and credible National Convention, deserving of the party.

The APC National Convention has been slated for March 26, to elect new national executives of the party, currently being managed by the CECPC.

A section of the media had at the weekend reported that President Muhammad Buhari had sacked Buni as the Chairman of the APC CECPC and appointed Gov. Sani Bello of Niger, as the sole administrator of the party. (NAN)
