The All Progressives Congress (APC) Akwa Ibom State Chapter has denounced a letter purporting to expel Emmanuel Bernard Inyang-Etoh, a prominent stakeholder, describing it as an “illegitimate” and “shameless charade” orchestrated by disgruntled elements compromised by external forces.

According to the party’s chairman, Obong Stephen Ntukekpo, the allegations against Inyang-Etoh are baseless, malicious, and politically motivated, reeking of desperation and ignorance of the party’s constitution. The state working committee has ordered the signatories to retract their statement within 24 hours and appear in person to submit the retraction.

The APC has nullified the purported expulsion, affirming Inyang-Etoh’s status as a respected stakeholder. The party has warned rogue elements against fomenting chaos, vowing to take swift and decisive action against further attempts to embarrass the party or its leaders. The APC Akwa Ibom State chapter asserts its unity, strength, and focus on delivering democratic dividends to the people.
