The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has issued a disclaimer asking party faithful and Nigerians to disregard the list.

VerseNews reports that a National Campaign Conuncil list of the 123 members  was released on Tuesday by the party ahead of the governorship election in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi Sates scheduled to hold on November 11, 2023.

The list was signed by National Organising Secretary of the party, Sulaimon Argungu.

Few hours after the list went viral, the party in a circular signed by it’s National Publicity Secretariat, Barr. Felix Morka sated the list is not an official document from the party and should be disregarded.

“The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to National Campaign Council Lists for the 11th November 2023 Governorship Elections in Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo States in circulation in sections of the media. The lists are not official documents of the Party and should be disregarded,” the circular reads

The campaign council for Bayelsa prominently featured ex-Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, as a member. Wike, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is a member of the G5, a protesting group within the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Interestingly, the PDP had earlier in August listed Wike as a member of the party’s campaign council for the Bayelsa governorship poll. While APC fields ex-Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, as candidate, Governor Douye Diri of the PDP is seeking re-election.

APC’s reversal might not be unconnected to the intrigues around the listing of Wike as member of the campaign council for Bayelsa.
