“National convention appeal to hear and resolve complaints arising from the national convention – February 28.”

In another statement, Akpanudoedehe said the party is yet to take a position on zoning of its national offices.

“I am here to debunk the fake news going around on the social media that we have zoned offices. We are yet to meet on the issue of zoning,” he said.

“The news and rumour making the rounds round are fake news. We never discussed the issue during our deliberations. People should disregard the story because it is fake news. It is not true.”
