“The attention of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has been drawn to a purported breaking news report tagged: ‘APC Grants Automatic Tickets to All National Assembly Members’ in viral circulation.

In other news, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, on Sunday said former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi has serious character issues.
Igbokwe said Amaechi has a very bad temperament and should not be taken seriously.
Posting on Facebook, Igbokwe wrote: “If you have had personal experience with former Governor Rotimi Amaechi as I did at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, in 2015 when PMB came to campaign in Lagos, you will not take him seriously at all. He has a serious character issue.
“Alhaji Kabiru Abdullahi, former Commissioner for Waterfront in Lagos, had a personal encounter with Rotimi Amechi at Agege Stadium Lagos.
“The Hausa Community in Lagos prepared a private campaign for PMB and Amechi came on behalf of the president.
“Amaechi came into the venue and asked all the Arewa leaders who organized the show to leave the podium. They refused and challenged him without measure. Amaechi has a very bad temperament.
