The APC in Borno State northeast Nigeria has disowned what it described as illegal registration of its members and prospective voters by suspicious persons in the state.
In a statement issued to Newsmen, weekend in Maiduguri, by its Borno State secretary, Alhaji Bello Ayuba, the party said the illegal registration was conducted by persons acting a hidden agenda aimed at undermining President Muhammadu Buhari’s reelection bid.
The party, according to the statement, urged all its members across the 27 local government areas to disregard any registration exercise for now because the exercise has nothing to do with the APC national headquarters and the state level.
The statement said when the national secretariat of the party was ready to carry out a legitimate registration of members, it would dispatch its officials to the states, rather than a group of suspicious persons that may be working underground to stop legitimate registration of APC members.
