APC Reacts To Lawmakers’ Automatic Ticket Allegations – ‘No Such Decision Yet

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed as false the widespread reports suggesting that it has decided to grant automatic tickets to all members of the National Assembly.

In a statement released on Tuesday, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, urged party members and the public to ignore the claims, labeling them as fake and deliberately misleading.

“The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a circulating false report titled ‘APC Grants Automatic Tickets to All National Assembly Members,’” the statement read. “This is nothing but FAKE NEWS and should be completely disregarded. It did not originate from our great party.”

Reports had surfaced on Monday alleging that the APC, under the leadership of Abdullahi Ganduje and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, had finalized plans to offer automatic tickets to serving federal lawmakers. The reports also claimed that some APC governors were opposed to the alleged arrangement.

Morka, however, emphasized that the party has not taken any such decision and warned against the spread of misinformation designed to create confusion within the party.
