The state publicity secretary of The All Progressives Congress Abia state Chapter, Hon. Okey Ezeala has stated that only the party register can determine delegates to the National Convention.

In a press release signed by Hon. Ezeala and made available to AbiaPulseNews, he stated that the names forwarded by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu are unknown to Abia APC.

PRESS RELEASE!!!

OUR PARTY MEMBERSHIP REGISTER DETERMINES DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The attention of Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC has been drawn to an open letter purportedly authored by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, wherein some names unknown to Abia APC leadership appeared as prospective delegates to the proposed 26th March 2022 national convention of APC.

Abia APC is one family and we respect Senator Orji Kalu and indeed every other Politician’s right to associate with friends, political allies and choice structure, but it is imperative to note that the party’s constitution allows only members of the APC as delegates to the national convention, of which the party’s membership register in Abia will determine – not by supposedly big names, office or social status.

The Party conducted a nationwide membership registration and revalidation exercise as early as last year with enough timeline and media publications to the benefit of party loyalists and interesting members of the public – yet some political merchants with the aim of hijacking the party disregarded the opportunity, thereby losing their membership status till today.

The convention of 26th March 2022 is a child of destiny and those who couldn’t abort it are relentless in all subterfuge to create imaginary relevance.

Article 12.1 of APC Constitution is clear about the statutory delegates to the national convention and the Party surely does not need open letters to that effect.

Long live All Progressives Congress,
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Signed: Hon. Okey Ezeala, Abia State Publicity Secretary – APC
