APC Chairmen Forum disassociates self fromconfidence vote on Oshiomhole

The All Progressives Congress (APC), State

Chairmen Forum has disassociated itself from a

statement claiming that it passed a vote of

confidence on the party’s National Chairman, Mr

Adams Oshiomhole.

The forum’s Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lawal

Liman, in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday,

described as “fraudulent”, a statement claiming

that the group met and passed a vote of

confidence on Oshiomhole.

Liman, who is also the party’s Chairman in

Zamfara, said that there was no such decision

reached by the forum.

According to him, the forum has not met to

deliberate on the crisis that has engulfed the

party.

“We have not met, but we plan to meet before

APC’s National Executive Council (NEC), meeting

scheduled for March 17, 2020.

“As soon as some state chairmen saw the

statement, they started calling me to find out the

veracity of the statement.

“l want to confirm to my colleagues that there

was no meeting held and there was no statement

issued to pass a vote of confidence on the APC

National Chairman.

“All issues will be resolved at the next NEC

meeting and, hopefully, we will hold a meeting of

the forum before the said NEC meeting.

“We will not, in any way, bring the name of the

forum to disrepute by doing what will take away

our credibility,” the forum spokesman said.
