The All Progressive Congress (APC) has said there were no parallel congresses held anywhere around the country, warning those insinuating same to desist from such.
The APC national publicity secretary, Bollaji Abdullahi said on Monday it had become necessary to make the clarification in view of inquiries from the media regarding “parallel congresses”.
Abdullahi said: “I have received media requests on the issue of so-called parallel congresses in a couple of States.
“The Party position is that there is no such thing as parallel congress. The only congress recognised by the Party is that conducted in accordance with the Party constitution, which was organised by the congress committee charged by the Party to organise such congress.
“We therefore regard any so-called parallel congresses as exercise in futility and attempt to cause confusion in the Party.
“We wish to reiterate that any Party member who has any genuine grievances regarding the congresses should channel such through the Appeals Committee in their respective states.”
