The All Progressives Congress (APC) has cleared the air following widespread reports that it suspended a former governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, saying the purported letter of suspension was forged.
A number of media outfits that reported that Okorocha has been suspended by the APC for alleged “anti-party activities”.
The viral two-page letter with reference number APC/NHDQ/SP/19/022/41 dated 12th July, 2021 was titled: “Re: Notification of your suspension from the All Progressives Congress (APC) for gross anti-party.”
It was purportedly signed by APC Caretaker Chairman, Governor Mai Mala Buni and Secretary, Senator John Akpanudoehede.
The APC Secretary, Senator Akpanudoehede, however, said the letter was fake.
“The letter is fake. It is not from us (APC). My signature was forged. The signature on that letter is copy and paste,” he was quoted as saying by The Nation.
