The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denounced social media posts circulating a purported schedule of activities for the party’s upcoming congresses as fake news. The posts, which began circulating on Sunday, included pictures and details of alleged costs for nomination forms and the date for the party’s national convention at ward, local government area, state, and national levels.

According to a statement issued by Felix Morka, the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, the party’s attention was drawn to the widely circulated ‘APC 2025 Schedule of Nationwide Congresses and Related Activities’ on social media. The APC has clarified that the purported schedule was neither made nor authorized by the party and should be disregarded as fake news.

The APC’s swift response aims to mitigate potential confusion among party members and the general public. The party’s congresses are a crucial part of its internal democratic process, and any misinformation could impact the outcome of the events. By dismissing the fake news, the APC reaffirms its commitment to transparency and accountability in its internal processes.

The circulation of fake news on social media platforms has become a recurring challenge for political parties and organizations. The APC’s experience highlights the need for vigilance and prompt action to counter misinformation. As the party prepares for its congresses, it is essential for stakeholders to rely on official communication channels for accurate and reliable information.

The APC’s national convention is a significant event in the party’s calendar, and the dissemination of accurate information is crucial to ensure a smooth and successful process. The party’s leadership will likely continue to monitor the situation and provide updates to prevent further misinformation. As the APC moves forward with its internal processes, it is expected to maintain its commitment to transparency and accountability, ensuring that accurate information reaches its members and the public.
