The Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially dissociated itself from a viral document purportedly outlining the schedule for primary elections in the state.
The disclaimer, issued on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, follows the circulation of a “timetable” on social media that suggested specific dates and venues for local and state-level primaries ahead of the 2027 electoral cycle.
The “Fake” Timetable Alert
The party’s leadership described the document as the handiwork of “mischief-makers” and “political impostors” looking to cause confusion within its ranks.
- Unauthorized Source: The Enugu APC clarified that the document did not emanate from the State Working Committee or the National Secretariat in Abuja.
- Premature Politicking: Party officials noted that while internal preparations for 2027 are ongoing, no official schedule for primaries has been ratified or released to the public.
- The Signature Discrepancy: Insiders pointed out that the names and signatures on the viral flyer did not match current party executives, further proving its fraudulent nature.
Internal Context: A Fight Against “Propaganda”
The disclaimer comes amid a series of recent attempts to portray the Enugu APC as being in crisis:
- Crisis Denials: In April 2026, party stalwarts like Dr. Josef Onoh dismissed reports of a leadership tussle as mere “propaganda” aimed at weakening the opposition in the South-East.
- Stable Leadership: The party reiterated that its structure remains intact and focused on its “reclaiming Enugu” mandate, rather than early intra-party skirmishes.
- Verification Call: State Chairman Ugo Agballah has urged members and aspirants to rely only on official communiqués shared via verified party channels to avoid falling victim to scammers or political traps.
