The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has clarified its position on date for its proposed mini National
Convention.
In a statement on Thursday
evening, the National Publicity Secretary of the Party said he was misquoted by
some section of the media which reported he validated the purported
postponement of the convention.
He, however, maintained that the
National Executive Council (NEC) of the Party, which has the
constitutional
right to decide on date for the national convention, has not taken any decision
on the postponement.
He said: “the All Progressives
Congress (APC) wishes to refute reports in a section of the press that the
Party has postponed its mini national convention to 2018.
“There is no truth in the said
reports which quoted me as saying that the convention will now hold in the
first quarter of next year.
“In the interview I granted to a
few journalists in my office, what I said was that the date of the convention
can only be determined by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Party
which will meet on the 31st of this month.
“At no time, did I make the
statement which the journalists attributed to me to validate the purported
postponement of the convention.
“By this statement, the general
public should please take note that reports of postponement of the APC’s
mini-convention are false, as the NEC of our party has not made any such
decision.”
