BEVERLY HILLS, May 31, (THEWILL) – The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Wednesday dismissed the news report of it conducting an assessment poll on the performance of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration as false and misleading.
Stressing that it did not conduct or authorise any assessment poll on the two years in power of the Buhari administration, the ruling party advised the media and the general public to ignore the questionable poll.
A statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, stated that the twitter handle, ‘@APCNigeria’ with which the poll was purportedly conducted is not the official twitter account of the APC.
“Unfortunately, media organisations that published the story did not verify from the Party’s Publicity department the authenticity of the unauthorised poll credited to the Party,” Abdullahi said.
The APC had on February 21, 2016 distanced itself from the twitter handle, ‘@APCNigeria’ following a false report credited to the party on the outcome of the Benue South Senatorial rerun election.
