APC denies suspension of Senator Okorocha

By Uthman Salami

The All progressive congress (APC) has described the letter circulating in the public space bearing the suspension of the form APC denies suspension of Senators Okorocha Governor of Imo state, and the current member of the 9th Assembly, Owelle Rochas Okorocha,  as false and handwork of the fifth columnists.

This was revealed by the National Secretary of APC, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe recently.

Earlier, it was widely circulated that the ruling party had suspended the former Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, from the party owing to some alleged infractions.

To debunk the rumoured suspension of the senator, the statement from the ruling party’s Secretariat read: “It has come to the attention of the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that a fake letter of a purported suspension of Senator Rochas Okorocha from the party is circulating in the public space.

“Fifth columnists and forgers have obviously taken advantage of the unfortunate and recent leaks of our official correspondences to copy and paste forged signatures of the CECPC Chaiman and Secretary on equally fake letters.

“The APC does not currently have a ‘National Working Committee’ as stated in the fake letter, but a Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) which has been saddled with the mandate to reposition, unite and strengthen our great party.

“We call on the discerning public to be wary of fifth columnists and jobbers relentlessly scheming to use every opportunity to stoke crisis in the party and polity through fake news. We also urge the media to always rely on our well-known and official communication and punlicity channels to get information on the activities of the party.”

He urged everyone to discountenance the fake letter as it is a figment of the imagination of fifth columnists.
