According to the statement, “The report is malicious, unfortunate, unfounded and clearly mischievous and unprofessional in the extent to which some people can go in misleading others and causing chaos in a stable, peaceful party like the APC.

“The APC has constitutionally established channels where everything is done in a responsible and guided manner.

“The party did not receive any letter from Governor Dauda Lawal as claimed through the imagination of the writer, nor is the party aware of any recent moves by the governor to defect from the PDP to the APC.

“All members of the party and indeed the general public, especially in Zamfara State, should therefore disregard the report”, the statement has clarified.
