The All Progressives Congress, APC, Lagos State chapter, has disowned a statement purportedly issued by its secretariat that names submitted to Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission, LASIEC, for chairmanship and councillorship positions can still be substituted a week to local government election according to the electoral law.
The purported statement also warned all the candidates given the LASIEC’s forms not to rejoice yet as some of them can still be changed, following unresolved crisis rocking the party across the state.
A statement by the state’s APC Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, urged the public, especially the media to disregard the statement credited to his office, which he described as a “forgery and the figment of the imaginations of cowardly interests that want to sow mischief and crisis in the party.”
Igbokwe, said that being a loyal party man, he would never have approved the false statement that names of councillorship and chairmanship candidates submitted by the party could still be changed.
