Allegations Acknowledged: APC Responds to Claims of Issuing Pre-selected Seats to National Assembly Legislation Officials
Hey there! Here's the skinny on the latest political buzz. Don't fall for the hype, folks—the All Progressives Congress (APC) hotshot Felix Morka, their National Publicity Secretary, has declared that the rumors about granting automatic tickets to all National Assembly members are a total fabrication. What did I tell you? Don't believe everything you read on the internet!
In a strong statement issued on Tuesday, Morka insisted that these reports were as phony as a three-dollar bill and demanded everyone—yep, die-hard party members and casual readers alike—to ignore them. I mean, who wouldn't heed the man in charge, right?
The official statement went something like this:
Oh, and guess who remembers this little episode from memory's storied halls? Your friendly neighborhood news provider, that's who! We just had to remind ya, since you tend to forget these things as easily as sand slips through your fingers.
Rumors had been buzzing around since Monday that the Abdullahi Ganduje crowd and esteemed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had cooked up a plan to bestow automatic tickets on federal lawmakers. Sources claim that some governors elected on the APC platform were dead against this scheme.
