APC dismisses report on zoning of VP to SW

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed as reckless, baseless and completely unfounded the report published by a local newspaper Monday that the party has zoned its vice presidential slot to the South-west instead of South-East.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the report was orchestrated by those who are threatened by the high profile and prospects of the party’s candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra.

”Having realized that their attempt to milk the so-called deportation issue has fallen flat on its face, these desperate politicians have now resorted to outright lies and wild imagination. They figure that if they played the South-West against the South-East, by saying the APC has zoned the VP slot to the former over the latter, some people may just fall for it. This is cheap politics,” it said.

APC assured Nigerians that the party has, at no time, discussed the issue of its presidential and vice presidential slots, hence could not have zoned any of the posts.

”Our party is an inclusive national party which will definitely accommodate the interest of all Nigerians in all its actions. We are therefore urging all the good people of Nigeria to ignore this fabricated story. There is no iota of truth in it,” the party said

APC expressed concern that a newspaper with a good pedigree will lend itself to be used to push such a dangerous and irresponsible agenda by reporting fiction as fact.

”One would have expected a media organization that is worth its salt to be circumspect in reporting such fiction. It is particularly interesting that all the media organization had – as a basis for the story – was a ”strong indication” that the party will zone its vice presidential slot to the South-West.

”Not once was a single source quoted by name, for such an important story. This is the height of irresponsible reporting that runs against the grain of responsibility, fairness and accuracy in journalism,” the party said.

Before nko• I knew the report was misleading• PDP goons should stop playing cheap politics with the media•

It was Tribune that carried the story. As 'the Nation' is to APC, so is 'Tribune and This Day' to PDP. Always making up some so-called non-existent 'reliable/confidential source' to back up their politically motivated stories. Bottom line, anonymous sources can be misguided, wrong or even lie! We should learn to tell fact from fiction.

Its funny how the tribune version of the super story didn't even name one reliable source. Mere speculations. Only the political naive would fall for such cheap propaganda.

I don't even believe d earlier story.

Well, if you are as much intelligent as a monkey is, you would know that they are saying the obvious truth.

The story was fabricated by some bunch of Losers, I dislike that..
They know they're not going anywhere come Nov. 16 in Anambra, so they decided to fabricate this. The highest they'd do now is to disenfranchise APC aficionados, but it's not practically possible

braine:

your mouth cannot vote that is all.

We know those who wish us well, and we canot ally with incubus or our suppressors. Noise makers take should note.

APC ignoring haters since 2007

LMAO...When Sahara Reporters, Premium Times, Punch and the rest cook up stories against the PDP and FG and some of us point out that we can't believe stories with anonymous sources..we are shouted down..

Even when the FG comes out to issue a strong rebuttal..people still stick to the original cooked up stories
And now here is APC trying to tell us that since anonymous sources were used that is I should discard...ashi ashi I prefer to stick to Tribune's Well Investigated article

The moment i realized that the source of the earlier story was Nigerian Tribune I just said 'RUBBISH'. The paper can headline anything to sell because the company is merely struggling for survival. It engages in shameless political patronages just to make money. I can't remember when last I bought it.

Onyejiuwa okoh: We know those who wish us well, and we canot ally with incubus or our suppressors. Noise makers take should note.

Why not wish yrself well by putting clarity to your thought process rather than blowing 'shakabula' 'engrish'

Stop crying wolf where there is none!

I have said it in the earlier report that this is just a fabricated story to polarize the thin relationship between the party and the region, the earlier we all are able to read reports without sentinent or cultural attachment the better for the country. God bless Nigeria and God bless the good people of Anambra and give them the wisdom to vote wisely come November 16.

Newspapers always look for cheap and fake news to make front page..who even read Tribune dis days sef..nonsensical PDP sponsored tabloid..

Who cares if the news is true or not, this is how it is when you blackmail other peoples party with dirty report.
GEJ till 2019.

Day is just breaking for you people.
GEJ till 2019.

Thank God they acknoledged the news is fake.
Comeon, who doesn't know that APC will field Buhari and Tinubu/Fashola/another yeroba person?

National Tribune is wrong by publishing the article as news, it's as obvious s__t.

How does this affect the price of Garri? Nigeria by all signs might just not be here after 2015.

its now they know the S.E is important?? Dumb bleeps,. Well no igbo. No A.P.C come 2015,.
