ALL Progressives Congress (APC) has denied a claim that its Southwest caucus met over alleged lopsidedness in President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointments.

According to its Lagos State spokesman, Joe Igbokwe, there is no iota of truth that the Southwest wing of the APC ever met to take a position on federal appointments and the leadership of the National Assembly. He stated that no chapter of the party has the mandate to take a position contrary that of the John Odigie-Oyegun-led APC national leadership.

In a statement entitled: “Re-APC SW frowns at Buhari’s tribal appointments, rejects Saraki, Dogara,” Igbokwe blamed the misinformation on some fifth columnists who never wanted unity in the APC fold.

The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a story circulating online with the title: SW APC frowns at Buhari’s Appointments, Rejects Saraki, Dogara”

“This is to inform the general public that South West APC Chairmen never met anywhere in the South West and did not in any way issue the purported statement.

“We consider it potentially dangerous and unacceptable that some persons or group of persons will resort to this type of petty politics either to entertain themselves or to create further divisions within the APC family.
 
“We know we have some issues to resolve at the National Assembly but it has not come to the point that we have to use our hands to pull down a solid house we have built together.

“Consequently, we want to warn these mischief makers to desist from this ugly act that was framed in the first place to heat the polity and further embarrass the leadership of the party nationwide. This is the handwork of the enemies of our great party and they will fail at the fullness of time.
