APC Speaks On Fake Ministerial Lists. Warns Media To Always Cross-Check Stories.

The All Progressive Congress (APC), through its spokesman has described as fiction the purported ministerial lists being recently circulated, especially on the social media.

In a statement released and signed on Sunday by Alhaji Lai Muhammed, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, APC  described as a mere fiction the ministerial lists currently being circulated.

''Nigerians should disregard these lists and await the authentic list which will be communicated through the appropriate channels at the right time,'' it said.

The party also warned people on attributing actions to the President-elect and urges media to always clarify stories with the authentic officials of the party and the Buhari Campaign Organisation on any issue having to do with the actions of the President-elect in order to avoid presenting falsehood as facts.

The party said the appeal becomes necessary following recent media reports on the actions which the President-elect will purportedly embark upon once he is sworn into office.

''Various people have been quoted in the media on what the President-elect will do or will not do once he assumes office. 

The truth is that these people do not speak for the President-elect, hence the need for the media to clarify such issues with the Chairman of the
party, its National Publicity Secretary or the Spokesman of the Buhari Campaign Organisation. 
These officials are always available to clarify
issues,'' he said.

APC said the ongoing transition is a delicate period that fifth columnists could capitalise on to cause disaffection or overheat the polity, hence the need for all stakeholders to be extra-cautious and to put the national interest above all other interests.
