The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday foreclosed possibility of automatic ticket for Senators and members of the House of Representatives elected on the platform of the APC.
Indications were rife of the National Assembly members who were alleged to have held the hope that the party would give them automatic tickets for the 2027 general elections.
The APC in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary (NPS), Felix Morka titled; “Disregard fake news of APC automatic tickets for all National Assembly members”, said their is no iota of truth in the said information because it is “a fake news”.
According to Morka, “The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a purported Breaking News Report tagged “APC Grants Automatic Tickets to All National Assembly Members” in viral circulation.
“The report is FAKE NEWS and should be disregarded in its entirety as it did not emanate from our great Party”.
“We urge all Party members and the general public to disregard the report as FAKE and of mischievous origin”.
There were claims that the federal lawmakers may have sponsored the news on grounds that their adoption of President Bola Tinubu as the party’s sole candidate for the election could also earn them a free meal.
