The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos, Tunde Balogun on Tuesday night denied any directive from the National Chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun stopping state party chairmen from inaugurating their executive members.

DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the inauguration of Mr Balogun was in contrast to an earlier decision of the National Working Committee, NWC, a development that made Mr Oyegun to direct new chairmen in crisis states like Lagos, Rivers and others not to inaugurate executive members.

However, Mr Balogun told newsmen in Ikeja that news reports that Mr Oyegun gave the directive at the inauguration of 33 state party chairmen in Abuja on Monday were misleading.

He said Oyegun never questioned his position as the Chairman of the party in the state and that of chairmen of Rivers and Oyo, adding the report was a distortion of fact.

“It is not true that Chief Oyegun asked us in Lagos not to swear in our executives. There was nothing like that.

“And it was not true that he also directed the chairmen of Oyo and Rivers not to do so. He never said that at the inauguration.
