APC: No Protest Took Place At The SouthEast Secretariat

The SouthEast APC has publicly denied that there was a protest today at the venue of its SouthEast Town Hall meeting.

Reports had earlier filtered in that protesters had stormed the SouthEast APC Secretariat, venue of the stakeholders meeting protesting the non invitation of the suspended Enugu APC Caretaker Commitee Chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye, to the event.

Responding, the Director of Media, SoutEast APC, Igboeli Arinze, described the report as false and untrue and stated that the event went on smoothly with a number of dignitaries and stakeholders attending the event.

In a statement put out to the press Arinze said: “We had just concluded our APC SouthEast Zone stakeholders meeting, which was succesful in all ramifications, only for us to come across a very inconstant story alleging that protesters had stormed the secretariat protesting the non invitation of Nwoye, who to our knowledge had been suspended by the Enugu State chapter of the APC”.

“The story is false in all its ramifications as the programme was a huge success devoid of any such rancour.”

“Even the visuals, which came along with the story captured the same person carrying three different placards. Let us ask, was the protest a one man protest?” 

“We will soon flood the mediasphere with pictures and videos of the succesful event, which had the best of SouthEast politicians. We therefore, urge the public to disregard such a report as false in all its ramifications.
