The All Progressives Congress (APC), Bayelsa State chapter, has denied a statement pointing to a former national deputy publicity secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena, on the federal government’s plans to relocate some departments from Abuja to Lagos accordingly.
According to the party’s statement released on Sunday, January 28, by its publicity secretary, Doifie Buokoribo, said Nabena spoke for himself and insisted that “he is on his own.”
The spokesman for Bayelsa APC said Nabena made his statement without the interference of any party leader noting that his position was at variance with the policy thrust of President Bola Tinubu.
According to Buokoribo the APC in Bayelsa is committed and will support the President Tinubu’s policy on the Abuja plans.
The Statement reads in part, “The Bayelsa State APC dissociates itself from political statements issued by a former National Deputy Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Yekini Nabena.
“The state chapter has for some time taken note of Nabena’s recent remarks that curiously seem to be at odds with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policy directions.
“The state chapter affirms that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s time in office so far has yielded the expected results, which are nothing short of excellent and thus his Presidency is one which we boast of as the true ideals of our party are gloriously exhibited.
“As a party, we fully support the President’s policy directions as they are designed to reset the country for economic prosperity. We warn against any attempts to politicise the sincere efforts of the Federal Government to reset the country.
“We wish to inform the general public that Nabena’s utterances represent only himself, not our party in Bayelsa and our leaders.”
