The party however said that Ogodo was only creating imaginary crisis everywhere for the party when there is none.

“That in order to create a bad impression about APC and unnecessary attention, Cyril Ogodo and his co-travelers resorted to filing of cases in different Courts in Nigeria. That is, playing the role of a bull in a China shop. In other words, what they cannot get, they must destroy.

“Also, in line with Cyril Ogodo and his cohorts’ plans, through their social media errand boys, they tried to feed members of the public with hotchpotch of lies that there was/is political misunderstanding and/ or frosty relationship between the Party Governorship Candidate, Chief Great Ogboru and Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, forgetting the fact that the duo are political Siamese twins who understand the antics of political detractors like Cyril Ogodo and his cohorts.

“That the purported order of injunction that Cyril Ogodo relies on only exist in his fantasy, as same is being contested in the appropriate Court

“That as part of the plans of Cyril Ogodo and his cohorts, some of their kind were recently directed by them to defect to a particular party in Delta State, to act as political forerunners to them in that party, while they stay behind to fan embers of disunity in APC.

The party said that the purpose of the reconciliation Committee, set up by the recognized SWC of the Party, led by Prophet Jones Ode Erue is to bring every genuine APC Faithful together with the aim of assuaging the feelings of those who could not get the party’s ticket and other interests tendencies, and the need to remind them that they can serve/represent the Party in other capacities.
