The attention of the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Delta state ably led by its State Chairman Prophet Jones Ode Erue has been drawn to a publication on the Vanguard newspaper of Sunday 16th August, 2020 purportedly authorised by the erstwhile suspended/removed Deputy State Chairman Elvis Ayomanor and one impostor who was referred to in the said story as the party’s Publicity Secretary respectively conferring non existing powers on themselves to issue misleading statements intended to create a false crisis scenario which only exist in the figment of their imaginations.
The party reacted through its Director of Publicity Mr. Ovuakporie Nick dismissing the duo and their sponsors as mere attention seekers whose actions are likened to that of a last kick of a dying horse in the throes of death.
The party hereby unequivocally insist that there is no crack nor crisis as reported by a section of the media to warrant the attention given to the unfortunate publication linked to the duo of Mr. Elvis Ayomanor, the disgraced former deputy chairman and the faceless Felix Okpako who has been masquerading as publicity secretary of the Party.
Recall, that Mr. Elvis Ayomanor and others were suspended and removed from office for contravening the party’s constitution including acts of gross misconduct which led to his replacement by Hon. Moses Ogodo as the Ag. Deputy state Chairman a phase, the party has since concluded and moved on to more pressing issues of the administration of the Party.
The party also seizes this opportunity to call on the general public to disregard the cantankerous activities of these charlatans and their sponsors, that a State caucus meeting was called to the home of the party leader His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as against the state secretariat as a non issue, stating that precedence has effectively taken care of their argument triggered by frustration as caucus meetings has always been called/held at the residence(s) of the leader of the Party which has been the conventional practice overtime. The party confirmed that when late Senator Spanner Okpozo was the Chairman of the caucus, the meetings were taking place in his house at Ozoro with caucus members in regular attendance.
Second, when Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, was the leader of the caucus, the meetings were taking place in his residences in Abuja and Onicha-Ugbo with caucus members attending at various times. This has been the practice as it affects caucus meetings of the Party
The party also stressed that the caucus meeting invitation wasn’t extended to these impostors having been suspended and removed from office for acts which constituted serious breach of the party’s constitution 2014 as amended.
The statement sternly warns that though the leadership of the Party has always believed in towing the line of peace, the Party will not hesitate to take decisive disciplinary action against the suspended former Deputy State Chairman, Mr. Elvis Ayomanor who is a fugitive from justice in the United States of America and his sponsors to refrain from acts that tends to foist an imaginary crisis on the State chapter of the party which has been enjoying utmost peace and harmony amongst its members and leaders alike.
