The All Progressives Congress has said there is no faction in the party.
The party said this against the backdrop of the alliance forged by the Reformed All Progressives Congress with the Peoples Democratic Party, Social Democratic Party, Advanced Congress of Democrats and 35 other political parties in Abuja on Monday.
According to the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, on Tuesday, the party has no faction but united under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Abdullahi said inasmuch as the party is not against individuals associating with any group they choose to, there is no faction in the APC.
He said in the statement: “On Monday July 9, 2018, a group of individuals under the so-called ‘Reformed All Progressives Congress’ platform purportedly joined a coalition of opposition political parties ahead of the 2019 general elections.
“We respect the right of everyone to join any association or group. However, we wish to reiterate that the so-called R-APC is not a faction of our Party. Our Party, the APC remains united under the leadership of our President, H.E. Muhammadu Buhari.
“It is also noteworthy that some political parties that have been named as signatories to the MoU have disassociated themselves from the publicised deal.
“We once again reiterate the commitment of our Party to address real grievances of our genuine members. We call on them to take advantage of this opportunity while the windows for reconciliation are still open.
“We are confident that no level of gang-up can make our government under President Buhari to waiver in its promises to Nigerians to rid our country of corruption and improve the quality of lives for our people.”
