The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has refuted the setting of a “Leadership Council” in its Delta State chapter.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, by APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the party clarified that the reported inauguration of the council was not sanctioned by the NWC.
It said: “The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of our great Party has been drawn to reports circulating in sections of the media regarding the inauguration of the Delta State All Progressives Congress (APC) Leadership Council ‘approved by the National Leadership of our great Party.
“This is to clarify that the NWC did not grant approval for the inauguration or operation of the “Leadership Council” in the Delta State Chapter of our Party, as claimed by reports.
Morka further emphasized that the so-called “Leadership Council” is not a body created or recognised under the Party’s Constitution which clearly spells out the statutory organs, structures and committees of the Party, and their respective powers and functions. The “Leadership Council” is not one of such constitutional organs, ad hoc – structures or committees of the Party.”
In an earlier statement, Valentine Onojeghuo Delta APC Publicity Secretary, claimed that the ‘national leadership” of APC has approved the “inauguration of the Delta APC Leadership Council under the co-chairmanship of Olorogun Festus Keyamo, SAN and Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege CFR.
The leadership council was slated for inauguration on March 8, 2025, according to Onojeghuo.
This effectively puts paid to the controversial move set up a parallel collegiate arrangement in the running of Delta APC.
However, the leader of APC in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi among other top leaders have dissociated themselves from the purported parallel “College of Leaders.
