The APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee has said that Senator John Akpanudoedehe is still its National Secretary.
Director (Publicity), APC National Secretariat, Abuja, Salisu Na’inna Dambatta, made the observation while clarifying the CECPC position on the National Secretary in a statement on Saturday.
Dambatta whose statement was a follow up to an earlier press briefing on Friday by the Spokesperson of the CECPC, Barrister Ismaeel Ahmed, stated that the reports about the position of Akpanudoedehe in the Media were false.
He said neither did Akpanudoedehe resign nor was he removed from his position as the CECPC National Secretary.
The statement titled ‘Clarification on the position of the Secretary of the CECPC’ reads:
“Further to the Media Conference earlier held by the Spokesman of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Barrister Ismaeel Ahmed, the Party wishes to note that the Secretary of the CECPC, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, never sent a resignation letter to the Party to the best of its knowledge and neither was he sacked as some social media blogs speculated. All those are utterly false.
“The APC is one family, the Caretaker is one unit. We have an Acting Chairman who is racing against time to deliver a convention and committee members that are united in supporting him in carrying out that onerous mandate.
“So please, disregard social media stories that are not rooted in fact or even sound reasoning.”
