The All Progressives Party, APC, has refuted claims that the leadership of the party has granted automatic tickets to all National Assembly members seeking re-election.
Describing it as ”fake news”, the party in a statement on Tuesday signed by Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, urged all and sundry to disregard the claims.
Morka also described the news as the handiwork of ”mischievous” elements seeking to cause confusion in the ruling party.
Morka’s statement reads, ”The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a purported breaking news report tagged “APC Grants Automatic Tickets to All National Assembly Members” in viral circulation.
”The report is fake news and should be disregarded in its entirety, as it did not emanate from our great party.
”We urge all Party members and the general public to disregard the report as fake and of mischievous origin.”
