The All Progressives Congress,
APC, in Delta State has claimed
that Lauretta Onochie, Social
Media aide to President
Muhammadu Buhari, is not a card
carrying member of the party.
The party further asked the
Senate to ignore the protests and
plethora of petitions against
Onochie’s nomination.
Protests have greeted the
nomination of Onochie as
commissioner of the Independent
National Electoral Commission
(INEC) by President Mohammadu
Buhari.
The APC described as fictitious
and frivolous petition from a
senatorial district in Delta State
which has vehemently opposed
her nomination because she is
Anioma daughter.
In a communiqué at the end of a
meeting of APC leaders and
stakeholders in Delta north at the
weekend, the party said, “She is
a technocrat and has been part
of us and she is not a card-
carrying member of our party.”
Also, the communiqué signed by
Cyprian Ashibuogu, Clement
Ozegbe, Nkem Osu and Onyeisi
Nwokolobia called on the south
and central to support the quest
of Delta north to produce the
next APC governorship candidate
for the 2023 election.
The party argued that Anioma
nation has never contested the
governorship seat on the platform
of APC.https://dailypost.ng/2021/07/11/inec-apc-makes-clarification-on-onochie-being-card-carrying-member/
