IN what seems like a face-saving measure, the All Progressives Congress has disowned a “DRAFT” letter in circulation purportedly written by the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu, addressed to APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
In the letter in circulation, Adamu had expressed dissatisfaction over the recently released list of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council.
National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, said in a statement on Thursday that the “DRAFT” letter did not emanate from the APC.
“An UNSIGNED letter that marks itself as a ‘DRAFT’ cannot and should not be attributed to its purported author,” Morka said.
He insisted that Adamu and Tinubu maintained cordial and effective communication channels, and enjoyed full liberty of open and frank conversations on matters of interest to the party and its Presidential Campaign.
“As such, an unsigned ‘DRAFT’ letter of the kind in circulation is patently unnecessary and of no qualitative value to engagement between the Party and the PCC,” he noted.
Morka said the APC would not be distracted by the wishes and actions of detractors waiting gleefully but in vain for some kind of crisis to erupt between the party and the PCC.
“We stand united, as a party, in our resolve and commitment to execute a focused and issue-driven campaign to persuade Nigerians to renew our mandate in next year’s general election,” he stated.
In the letter in circulation, Adamu had alleged that the APC presidential candidate breached his agreement with the party when he unilaterally released the PCC list without recourse to the national secretariat of the party, among other concerns.
