The All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, Mr Adams Oshiomhole has said the party is not in alignment with any party in Rivers state, especially the African Action Congress (AAC).
Speaking on Friday on Channels TV’s interview programme, ‘Hard Copy’ with Maupe Yusuf, the APC leader said neither he nor the party’s national working committee was aware of any of such alignment.
APC did not field any candidate for the Rivers governorship election after the supreme court had upheld the annulment of the party’s primaries and congresses in the state.
But the Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, had said the APC will back Awara Biokpomabo, the governorship candidate of AAC during the March 9, elections in the state.
Amaechi had said, “This morning, the leadership of the party met and agreed that we would work with a party called African Action Congress (AAC), while we are still in court to reclaim our mandate.”
Oshiomhole, APC national chairman, however, denied such alignment and said it has never been discussed with him.
The APC chairman said: “I have never spoken at any forum that we have aligned with any party. There is only one party (I oversee) and that is APC, if there is going to be alignment, I will know.
“I can’t choose to be in the know. That has never been discussed with me or with any of the members of the national working committee.”
