The immediate past Governor of Delta State and All Progressives Congress Leader, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has warned Nigerians, especially social media users to not pit APC’s leaders against themselves via false information targeted at escalating the crisis in the state chapter.

Dr. Emmanuel revealed this through his Media Assistant, Monoyon Edon in a press statement recently in Warri.

According to Uduaghan, APC leaders must close rank in their efforts at improving party unity instead of listening to untrue information.

He added that social media has been aiding the intentional misinformation being spread by some persons to wreak havoc on the party, so the leaders must be wary of such antics.

His words, “Dr. Uduaghan and other leaders of the party are doing everything within their might to restore calm in the Chapter. He advises every member of the party to refrain from making unguarded comments that could further aggravate the simmering squabbles in Delta APC.”
