The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday distanced itself from media reports suggesting the party has selected principal officers for its caucus in the National Assembly.
In a statement on Sunday, Lanre Isa-Olu, the ruling party’s spokesman described the report as false, stating that the party was still consulting with relevant stakeholders and would make their consultation public at the appropriate time.
Media reports over the weekend suggested that APC has zoned the principal officers position in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
But Onilu on Subday reminded stakeholders that the Party has always been open in all its decisions and will not act differently into case of principal officers of the National Assembly
“Our attention has been drawn to a report in circulation purporting the appointment of the remaining principal officers of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 9th National Assembly. The report is false and should be disregarded”, Oniru’s statement read.
“In arriving at party decisions and indeed in all our activities, we have always been transparent, ensuring the best democratic principles are adhered to in whatever steps we take.
“Consultations are ongoing and in our typical style, we will come out to formally announce the party’s decision on the appointments.
“With the prevalence of fake news, we urge the media to always wait for and rely on official statements from the party other than unofficial sources. The media should please take due note of this on future issues that involve our party.”
