APC debunks resignation of Akpanudoedehe as CECPC Secretary

The All Progressives Congress has debunked the reports making the rounds that Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe has resigned from his position as the National Secretary of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee   (CECPC).

The ruling party stated that Akpanudoedehe was never sacked as circulated on social media.

The APC made this known via a statement issued by the party’s Director of Publicity, Salisu Na’inna Dambatta, on Saturday.

The statement was titled, ‘Clarification on the position of the Secretary of the CECPC’.

It read: “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,” Dambatta stated.

Earlier, Sen. Akpanudoedehe had denied that he has resigned from his position as the National Secretary of the APC caretaker committee

He noted via a statement that if he had resigned from his position, his letter of resignation would have been written by him.
