Resort to conducting parallel congresses by aggrieved members of the All Progressive Congress ,APC,was on Friday outlawed by the party.
It also warned all members against seeking redress in any court over internal issues that could be resolved within the party .
A statement by the secretary of the convention committee of the party Senator John James Akpanudoedehe said that the party wished to remind its members of the resolution of the party since 2020 which ordered all cases to be withdrawn from the courts.
“It is important that the attention of all party faithfuls be called to the NEC resolution of 8th December, 2020, which subsists and extends to the conduct of party members during the congresses,” the party said
Stating what it called the relevant aspects of the resolutions, the statement said “Consequent upon the above, party members should please note that:
(i) All activites that may be carried out by persons to put the party and its officers in bad light, before, during and after the congresses should be jettisoned. “
It added that all activities or processes leading up to the congresses and thereafter which do not have the approval of the CECPC are exercises in futility.
Warning against parallel Congress, it said, “This is to say that: any purported parallel congress, parallel party organ and or parallel party office, is to say the least a nullity.
“These divisive activities will not be tolerated.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the party shall deploy the full weight of the law as stiputated in section 21 (D) of our party’s Constitution on any one who perpetrates such unlawful Act (s) and also on their sponsors. “
