The ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC) has dismissed the Reformed APC (R-APC), saying it has no other
faction.
Bolaji Abdullahi, spokesman of
the party, said this in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday.
Buba Galadima, a former chieftain
of the APC, led aggrieved members of the party to a new group on Wednesday.
But Abdullahi said the membership
status of R-APC leaders is being investigated.
He said having failed to scuttle
the national convention of the ruling party, they decided to be mischievous.
“On Wednesday July 4, 2018, a
group of individuals announced itself as ‘Reformed All Progressives Congress
(APC)’ at a press conference held in Abuja. By their actions, this group has
attempted to create the impression that our Party is factionalised. This is not
true,” he said.
“The All Progressives Congress
(APC) wishes to affirm that there is no faction in our Party and declares the
action by these individuals as mischievous and ill-advised.
“Having failed to scuttle the
National Convention as was their original plan, they now resort to this
subterfuge as a way of achieving the pre-determined end of causing confusion.
“As a matter of fact, we doubt
that these individuals parading as leaders of the so called faction are actual
members of our party. We are currently investigating their true membership
status within the party.
“While we shall continue to
monitor developments in this respect; we will not hesitate to take lawful
actions to defend the unity of our Party and protect the sanctity of its
identity. We are currently reviewing the action of this so-called faction in
order to determine if any aspect of the Party’s constitution has been breached
with the connivance of any of our members.”
