Information and Culture Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Tuesday, slammed a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena, describing him as an impostor.

His blistering attack on followed comments credited to Nabena on the party’s ongoing registration and revalidation exercise in Kwara State. The minister however said he would not dignify the former publicity scribe of the party with further comments on the issue.

 

In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by him, Mohammed said, “My attention has been drawn to the statement credited to one Yekini Nabena, who was described as the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on the ongoing APC membership registration in Kwara.

“Nabena must have been speaking for himself, as the APC National Caretaker Committee as presently constituted, has no position like that of Deputy National Publicity Secretary”.

The minister recalled that the APC National Executive Council at its last meeting in Abuja on Dec. 8, 2020, approved the immediate dissolution of the party organs at the polling units, wards, local government, states and zonal levels as well as the non-National Working Committee.

He said the NEC also endorsed the immediate reconstitution and composition of the dissolved EXCOs to serve in their respective offices in a caretaker committee capacity, but excluded the non-NWC members of NEC.

“As things stand, therefore, anyone claiming to be the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC is an impostor, hence I will not dignify such a pretender with a response.

Recall that Mohammed had requested a cancellation of the membership registration and validation in Kwara State for noncompliance with the guidelines and regulations laid down by the party.

However, Nabena had berated the minister over his request, urging him to relinquish his leadership of the party in the state.
