There is concortedly needless hullabaloo in the political space following a phantom social media protest letter, unsigned and purportedly attributed to Senator Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) and speculated to be sent to its and the nation’s foremost presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, regarding the composition of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council.
Theliberationnews gathered that hours after the letter was leaked, spokesman of the party, Barr. Felix Morka issued a statement on Thursday morning debunking insinuations that the letter emanated from Senator Adamu.
“That letter is not the position of the NWC,” he said.
More importantly, it is wrong for anybody to expect Tinubu to react to a ‘draft’ social media unsigned letter that was not sent to him.
Morka further stated: “Our attention has been drawn to a ‘draft’ letter in circulation purportedly written by His Excellency, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the National Chairman of our great Party, addressed to His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Presidential Candidate of our great Party, expressing dissatisfaction over the recently released list of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
“To be clear, the ‘draft’ letter did not emanate from the Party. An unsigned letter that marks itself as a ‘draft’ cannot and should not be attributed to its purported author.
“The National Chairman of our Party and our Presidential Candidate maintain cordial and effective communication channels, and enjoy full liberty of open and frank conversations on matters of interest to the Party and our Presidential Campaign. As such, an unsigned ‘draft’ letter of the kind in circulation is patently unnecessary and of no qualitative value to engagement between the Party and the PCC.
“We will not be distracted by the wishes and actions of detractors that wait gleefully but in vain for some kind of crisis to erupt between the Party and the PCC.
“We stand united, as a Party, in our resolve and commitment to execute a focused and issue-driven campaign to persuade Nigerians to renew our mandate in next year’s general election”.
