“On this premise, we categorically state that: Such act does not represent the position of AAC Party; the African Action Congress Benue State clearly dissociates itself from such endorsement as the said party does not reflect the constitutional ideals and principles of our great AAC Party; Barrister Terry Nyikwagh took such action solely on his discretion and did not consult the state leadership of our party; the state EXCO is already considering a disciplinary action suitable and equal for what is largely seen as anti-party activity; such action is not the best interest of our visionary party.
“We, therefore, implore our courageous supporters and the public to disregard the news that the AAC Benue State endorsed the PDP’s gubernatorial candidate. We have already launched investigation and would quickly make public our findings and recommendations.”
