The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the call by the ‘Reformed All Progressives Congress (rAPC)’ for the seat of Senator Godswill Akpabio to be declared vacant should be disregarded.
A statement by the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Yekini Nabena said the r-APC was neither a duly-registered political party or a faction as it labours to sell to the public.
The APC said r-APC’s request to the Senate President Bukola Saraki to declare Akpabio seat vacant, “is a borrowed and scripted tactic – sensationalism and comical conspiracies – typically used by unknown groups to get media attention to their normally unserious activities . The statement should not be given any attention and credence.
“The real issue remains our clear position that the Senate President honourably steps down or be impeached. Dr. Saraki’s ‘vote of no confidence’ which the so-called rAPC alleges has since been passed going by our Party’s rejection of his leadership of the Senate.
“We reiterate that the Senate President being a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in an All Progressives Congress (APC) numerically-dominated Senate cannot maintain a minority rule in the Upper House,” the statement read.
