According to the statement, the clarification became necessary following contrary information circulating in some quarters regarding participation in the primaries.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to show proof of payment of APC membership dues was applicable only to aspirants and their nominators during the submission of Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms as well as during the screening exercise,” the party stated.

The APC urged members and stakeholders to disregard any conflicting directives and allow eligible members to participate peacefully in the exercise.

“The Party urges members and stakeholders to disregard any contrary information, and enable all duly registered party members to participate peacefully in the ongoing primary elections without hindrance,” the statement added.
