The All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership has warned that attacks on the party’s North-Central leaders by “faceless groups” will no longer be tolerated.

According to a statement issued Saturday and signed by the National Vice Chairman, North-Central, Mu’azu Rijau, and Zonal Secretary, Yakubu Adamu, the warning became necessary as a result of an unregistered political group in the zone attacking the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, in the media.

The statement was made during an important meeting of North-Central zonal leaders and state chairmen held in Abuja on Friday.

The party leaders condemned the conduct of some unregistered and unrecognised support organisations that use the name of the party in the zone to abuse, insults and denigrate the persons, character and reputations of some leaders of the party in the zone.

The party’s zonal leadership stated that it remained the only authorised organ to speak or comment on the party’s operations in the zone, and that no other body or combination of individuals are entitled to perform such functions.

The statement said, “The attention of the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), North Central has been drawn to the activities of some unregistered and unrecognised support groups who are using the name of the party in the zone to attack, insult and disparage the persons, characters and reputations of some eminent leaders of the party in the zone on the media.

“Of particular attention was the recent unwarranted attacks on the person and office of our esteemed and revered leader, the former Executive Governor of Benue State and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume CFR by some sponsored groups.

“The zonal party leadership wish to condemn and unequivocally reject this development. We make bold to say that these groups are not only unrecognised, they are nothing but usurpers and interlopers.

“The leadership of the party in the zone wish to pass a vote of confidence on our leaders, particularly Distinguished Senator George Akume and all our five elected governors in the zone, whose contributions to the growth of the party in the zone and indeed the country have been acknowledged by all and sundry.”

“We are by this statement warning these groups to desist forthwith from using the name of North Central zone of the party in any guise to disparage, attack and insult our leaders. Failure to do so will attract the full weight of the law.”
