The Young Progressives Party says it has not collapsed its structures into the All Progressives Congress in Akwa Ibom State.
Martins Egbeola, YPP National Publicity Secretary, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.
Egbeola said on Monday in Abuja: “The news of YPP collapsing its structures into the APC is not only false, but a figment of the imagination of some group of individuals who lack basic understanding of institutional protocols having been used to impunity.
“While the movement of politicians from one political party to another is well within their fundamental rights, it’s however insensitive, cruel and wicked to misinform the public in desperate pursuit of vain political glory.
“Even though the YPP since registration has been consistent in ensuring the highest level of transparency, fidelity and commitment in our attempt to build an ideologically driven political party, it is quite unfortunate that some individuals who have been given opportunities on our platform have failed to reciprocate these virtues, thereby making the urgent review of the process of leadership recruitment in our great party inevitable.”

Egbeola said that some YPP members like Senator Bassey Albert actually left for the APC, but the party still had its structures intact in the state.
He said that the Akwa Ibom State chapter of the YPP was over six years old with potent structures across all the state.
