Count us out of your travails, APC tells suspended LP chair
The ruling All APC National Publicity Secretary (NPS), Barrister Felix Morka in a statement in Abuja on Saturday advised suspended LP National Chairman, Julius Abure to swim in the party’s mess and leave APC out of its self-inflicted problem.
The LP Chairman on Thursday accused the ruling party of colluding with the Police and other security agencies to seal the national secretariat of the opposition party.
But in the statement by the APC spokesman, the ruling party said it has nothing to do with the leadership crisis rocking the opposition party.
The party said: “With legs deep in quicksand, the embattled National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, clawing desperately in search of firmer ground, baselessly blames the All Progressives Congress (APC) for his sinking and dysfunctional Party. In his irrational outburst, Abure accused the APC of colluding with police and other security agencies to invade and seize LP’s national secretariat and staging a crisis in that party.
“Total vindication of APC of any involvement in LP’s imbroglio was swiftly and categorically delivered by Mr Abure’s successor and Acting National Chairman of LP, Lamidi Apapa, who exonerated our great Party of any interference in the party’s raging internal crisis.
“He (Apapa) clarified that the reported situation at the LP headquarters was a result of a legal process arising from the orders of a Federal Capital Territory High Court that barred Abure and other national officers of the party from parading themselves as such.
“The LP’s morbid obsession with APC is unfathomable and infantile, blaming APC for all its internal woes. Mr Abure’s bogus claim follows Mr Peter Obi’s unsubstantiated and vexatious claim that he was being hounded into exile by our party.
“Exonerating APC of any involvement in the crisis, Morka advised Abure to attend to all the allegations of criminal conduct against him and leave the APC out of his travails.
“To be clear, APC is not responsible for Mr Abure’s travails. He will do well to focus his thin attention and energy on dealing with the many allegations of the criminal conduct of forgery and financial impropriety levelled against him by his party.
“While the LP continues to grapple with its myriad woes and crying wolf where none exists, the APC will stay focused and committed to forming a new government to be led by the visionary President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he drives the Renewed Hope agenda, and consolidate on the many gains of the out-going President Buhari-administration.”
