APC Says Only Odigie-Oyegun & Lai Mohammed Can Speak For The Party, Most Of You Talking Can Stop Now

The All Progressives Congress has said only its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, and its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, are authorised to speak for the party on national issues.

In a statement by Odigie-Oyegun on Friday, the party said the clarification had become necessary as those it called authorised persons had been “issuing statements” on behalf of the APC.

It stated, “It has come to the attention of the leadership of the All Progressives Congress that unauthorised persons have recently been issuing statements on behalf of the party.

“This is totally wrong and unacceptable as only the National Chairman and the National Publicity Secretary can speak for the party on national issues. Therefore, any member of the National Working Committee or the
party generally, who wishes to speak on behalf of the party, should expressly clear such statement with the National Chairman of our great party.”

It directed its state publicity secretaries to restrict their statements to issues concerning their various states, urging all the concerned officers to adhere to the directive.
