The All Progressives Congress, APC has rebuffed the rebellion of the Buba Galadima led Reformed All Progressives Congress, RAPC with a four point charge criminal charge against the leaders of the group.

The National Legal Adviser of the APC, Mr. Babatunde Ogala in a statement made available to Vanguard at the weekend also denounced the formation of the group as grievous to law saying that its emergence was likened to a coup.

Asserting that the convention was properly organised against the claim of the RAPC, Ogala said that the convention was the culmination of a series of congresses even as he affirmed that the Galadima group did not follow such route.

He also said the APC national convention was validated by Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC officials.

He thus laid a four count charge of impersonation, fraudulent misrepresentation, conduct likely to breach the peace and Breach of Trademark and Infringement of Copy Right.

He said:

“Mr. Galadima in his Press Release copiously referred to himself as the substantive Chairman of R-APC a variant of APC whilst he knows full well that there is indeed no such political party in Nigeria. Also, he also suggests that he is the substantive Chairman of APC even though he knows that Com. Adams Oshiomole is indeed the party Chairman and Mr. Galadima never contested for Chairmanship at the just concluded convention of the APC. In the circumstance, Mr. Galadima has committed the offence of impersonation as defined and punishable under Section 484 of the Criminal Code and the authorities will be requested to do their work in bringing him to account.

“To the extent that Mr. Galadima continues to perpetuate a falsehood knowing such falsehood of him forming a Political Party overnight and being Chairman either of same party or APC indeed to be untrue yet persists for the purpose of gaining either pecuniary or other benefits, he is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. In Ikechukwu Ikpa vs. The State (2018) 4 NWLR Part 1069 Page 175 – 240, the Supreme Court defines Fraudulent Misrepresentation to mean;

“Without a doubt, the declaration of Mr. Galadima if left unchecked is capable of leading to the public nuisance and a breach of peace across Country. Our loyal members are already agitated by the incendiary action of this group which runs counter to the beliefs, principles and creed of the APC.

“As Nigerians are aware, the coinage APC is both a mark and a copy right capable of being protected under the common law principles of passing off as well as under the extant provisions of the Copyright’s Act. Nigerians can only imagine what it would be like if we were to wake up one morning to a bank claiming to the Reformed First Bank Plc or a Construction company claiming to be the Reformed Julius Berger Plc formed by a group of its directors allegedly because they disagree with certain decisions taken at the board meeting! This will be viewed as a blatant assault on the brand for which both civil and criminal recourse can be sought.“

I tot apc are happy d rapc are leaving apc? courtesy, the useless bmc crews. So why is apc laying criminal charge on them?

Another wrong move... Clueless party executive still using the same tools in handling internal disputes... Thought by now they would have learnt their lesson and handle internal disputes internally... But no...

It's useless anyway... The ship is already sinking...

Panic move. It is obvious APC is made up of riff-raffs. Every dissenting voice must be muscled and harassed? How dare the APC compare themselves to the First Bank of Nigeria or Julius Berger for that matter? R-APC is now infringing on copyright, and you fools accepted and absorbed nPDP into your folds ahead of 2015 elections? So nPDP that joined you was not infringing on the copyright of the PDP then, but R-APC is infringing now?? This APC is the greatest threath to democracy in Nigeria.

Same APC that accepted nPDP ba?


Cry me More.....

It's expected from the evil party. Just as Buhari has failed good people of Nigeria in every aspect, so also has every method or strategy he might want to use to smuggle himself back in Aso-Rock will fail him. Buhari, a good man with bad intentions.

"The National Legal Adviser of the APC, Mr. Babatunde Ogala in a statement made available to Vanguard at the weekend also denounced the formation of the group as grievous to law saying that its emergenc was likened to a coup."

Karma is serving it red, red hot. Recalled how the APC hailed the nPDP renegades to more rebellious action against their mother party then even calling them "progressives for democracy" APC involvement in Tambuwal case was the most unique.
Meanwhile why is the stinking & sinking failure of a party slamming "criminal charges" against their former members they claimed are inconsequential & free to leave

apc,another people cancer,demonic,satanic jihadist party,continue to scatter in Jesus name

Idiotic pigheads of Buhari, Tinubu n Buhari the imb*ecile,will kill democracy if they are allowed to continue.

“Without a doubt, the declaration of Mr. Galadima if left unchecked is capable of leading to the public nuisance and a breach of peace across Country......
Guess more than the herdsmen killings, BH, extra-judicial killings etc? Comic relief I tell ya
“As Nigerians are aware, the coinage APC is both a mark and a copy right capable of being protected under the common law principles

APC is a synonym for lies,deceits, falsehood, pain, hunger, anguish, retrogression, deaths & any form of negativity ever imagined.Hence no reasonable humanity should associate with such a brand.

Nigerians can only imagine what it would be like if we were to wake up one morning to a bank claiming to the Reformed First Bank Plc or a Construction company claiming to be the Reformed Julius Berger Plc formed by a group of its directors allegedly because they disagree with certain decisions taken at the board meeting! This will be viewed as a blatant assault on the brand for which both civil and criminal recourse can be sought.“

APC is full of clowns & desperate numbskulls! 1st.Bank & Julius Berger will sue these idiots.
Guess this charge & bail lawyer is oblivious of the freedom of association as enshrine in the Nigerian constitution.

If this is truly coming from the APC, then it's good news. Whatever will make them destroy themselves is good for our country.
#BuhariMustGo!

I thought R-APC where inconsequential and not needed anymore..according to APC zombies and e-urchins on social media??

The chicken has clearly come home to roost.

We all know that the House of Assembly/House of Legislatives are part of the rots in our country and we are eagerly waiting for them comes 2019.
We also know that their end is near because the lives of innocent people that died as a result of their callous ways will hunt them down.

PMB, God bless and guide you for us.
AMEN.
