In a statement issued yesterday by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the party stated that all duly registered members of the party are entitled to take part in the exercise without any hindrance.
The party explained that the requirement for proof of payment of membership dues applied only to aspirants and their nominators during the submission of Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms, as well as during the screening process.
According to the statement: “For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to show proof of payment of APC membership dues was applicable only to aspirants and their nominators during the submission of Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms as well as during the screening exercise.”
The ruling party urged members and stakeholders to disregard any contrary information capable of causing confusion during the primaries.
The APC further appealed to party faithful to conduct themselves peacefully and ensure that all duly registered members participate freely in the ongoing primary elections.
