Nigeria’s governing party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), this afternoon warned unauthorised persons to stop issuing statements on behalf of the party.
“This is totally wrong and unacceptable as only the National Chairman and the National Publicity Secretary can speak for the party on national issues,” APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said in a statement issued in Abuja.
He directed that any member of the National Working Committee (NWC) or the party generally who wishes to speak on behalf of the party should expressly clear such statement with the National Chairman.
“Also, State Publicity Secretaries of our party should restrict their statements to issues concerning their various states,” Chief Odigie-Oyegun said.
“It is expected that all concerned will adhere strictly to this guideline,” he added.
