"We want to inform the public that such gatherings are not authorized by the National Working Committee or any sub-national leadership organ of the party. Even though it is clear that any activity conducted by these impostors is a nullity, we warn these impostors to desist forthwith in their best interests.  

"The final dates for primaries as communicated to INEC by the NWC, are 7th June, 2022 across respective states and 9th June 2022 at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. 

"And preparations are in top gear to present the best candidates to vote for, in the general elections, come 2023. 

"The party leadership has also set upa 5-person RECOVERY COMMITTEE to look into all matters surrounding fraudulent activities, carried out by the impostors and their agents. 

"Recall that in 2019, our party released a widely publicized disclaimer, which warned members of the public not to have any party dealing with the impostor who was already expelled. 

"However, in the spirit of justice, we are willing to help unsuspecting members of the public who may have fallen victim to the fraudsters. 

"Anyone with solid evidence of fraudulent activities done in the name of the party should kindly approach the RECOVERY COMMITTEE without any delay on 08038296101, Email- [email protected].
