The All Progressives Congress (APC) said no parallel local government (LG) congresses held in Ebonyi on Saturday to elect party executives.

The congress committee chairman, Chief Nicholas Adekunle-Ajayi, stated this on Sunday in Abakaliki, while addressing newsmen.

Adekunle-Ajayi, at a joint media briefing, with the State Party Chairman, Chief Eze Nwachukwu, described report of parallel congresses in Ebonyi as misleading, lacking in truth and without merit.

Adekunle-Ajayi said that the congresses that held across the 13 local government areas were peaceful and successful.

He affirmed that he supervised the congresses in five local government areas across the three senatorial districts of the state.

The committee chairman said that other members of his team monitored the exercise in the remaining eight local government areas.

He said that the misleading reports were designed to undermine the huge success recorded by the party in the state by ‘enemies of the party.’

“I, Chief Nicholas Adekunle-Ajayi, is the congress committee chairman appointed by the National Working Committee (NWC) and I’m the person who conducted the congresses in Ebonyi.

“To the best of my knowledge, there were no parallel congresses in the state.

“There is nothing like parallel congresses; parallel congresses can only exist if the national body of the party establishes two working committees for such congresses.

“There is just one authentic congress committee chairman for Ebonyi and that person is my humble self,’’ he said.
