The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has denied reports alleging violence and chaos at its recent Delta Central stakeholders’ meeting in Effurun, insisting that the gathering was peaceful and orderly.
The party also issued a seven-day ultimatum to a national newspaper to retract the report and publish an unreserved apology, describing the publication as false, malicious and defamatory.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the state Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo, the APC rejected claims that the meeting, held on Sunday at the Petroleum Training Institute Conference Centre, Effurun, was disrupted by violence.
According to the party, the meeting was attended by party leaders and stakeholders and was broadcast live on Arise Television and TVC News.
