Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, has
described Yekini Nabena, deputy national publicity of secretary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), as an “imposter”.
Mohammed said the party does not have a deputy spokesman
because all organs of the APC were dissolved by the national executive
committee (NEC) in December.
Nabena has continued to speak for the APC despite the
dissolution of the party organs.
Mohammed had called for the cancellation of the APC
membership registration exercise in Kwara over alleged irregularities.
The registration exercise did not meet guidelines of the APC,
the minister said while addressing a press conference in Kwara on Monday.
But Nabena responded and asked him to submit to the
authority of AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Kwara governor, on APC matters in the
state.
The minister fired back saying he would not dignify a
“pretender” with a response.
“My attention has been drawn to the statement credited to
one Yekini Nabena, who was described as the deputy national publicity secretary
of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on the ongoing APC Membership
Registration in Kwara state,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The said Nabena must have been speaking for himself, as the
APC National Caretaker Committee, as presently constituted, has no position
like that of deputy national publicity secretary.
“As part of the resolutions from its last meeting in Abuja
on Dec. 8th 2020, the APC NEC approved the immediate dissolution of the party
organs at the polling units, wards, local government, states and zonal levels
as well as the non-national working committee component of the NEC, and the
immediate reconstitution and composition of the dissolved EXCOs to serve in
their respective offices in a caretaker committee capacity, but excluding the
non-NWC members of NEC.
“As things stand, therefore, anyone claiming to be the
deputy national publicity secretary of the APC is an impostor, hence I will not
dignify such a pretender with a response.”
