APC Disowns Social Media Ministerial List

The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday denounced the purported ministerial list of its incoming administration being circulated in a section of the media, especially the social media, describing it as misleading.



The party, therefore, advised the media to always cross-check their facts from authorised channels of the party before dishing out such to the public.



“The party has described as a mere fiction the ministerial lists currently being circulated, especially on the Social Media.



“Nigerians should disregard these lists and await the authentic list which will be communicated through the appropriate channels at the right time,’’ it said.



In a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by its national publicity secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the appeal became necessary following recent media reports on the actions which the president-elect will purportedly embark upon once he is sworn into office.



It appealed to the media to clarify with the authentic officials of the party and the Buhari Campaign Organisation any issue having to do with the actions of the president-elect in order to avoid presenting falsehood as facts.



“Various people have been quoted in the media on what the president-elect will do or will not do once he assumes office. The truth is that these people do not speak for the president-elect, hence the need for the media to clarify such issues with the chairman of the party, its national publicity secretary or the spokesman of the Buhari Campaign Organisation. These officials are always available to clarify issues,’’ it said.



APC said the ongoing transition is a delicate period that fifth columnists could capitalise on to cause disaffection or overheat the polity, hence the need for all stakeholders to be extra-cautious and to put the national interest above all other interests.
