The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged the general public to completely disregard “fake news” on the reported suspension of the planned national convention of the party. Emerging reports by certain media outlets suggest that the convention, which is slated for February, has been moved to now hold in June.
APC spokesman, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, in a statement on Wednesday noted that dates for party activities such as meetings, primaries, congresses, national conventions are communicated through well-known official channels and not through ‘sources’.
“The faceless authors and sponsors of fake news on APC activities, in this case, the planned National Convention are simply bent on causing confusion and fomenting crisis through misinformation.
“We should not enable them,” Senator
Akpanudoedehe advised.
He added that “As a focus-driven, process-oriented political party, the APC
Caretaker Committee under the leadership of Governor Mai Mala Buni will not be
distracted by self-serving antics of these sponsors of fake news.
