Reports of the expulsion of a former special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, Ita Enang from the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been debunked.

It was gathered earlier that the Akwa Ibom State chapter of the APC allegedly expelled Enang over “anti-party activities”. It was learnt that the former lawmaker’s expulsion was confirmed in a letter dated January 24th, 2023.

However, in another development, the Akwa Ibom APC has debunked the purported expulsion of Enang from the party. The Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area (LGA) APC Chairman in the state, Umoh Ekop described the said report to be false.

Ekop at a news conference on Thursday in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital said the people behind the purported letter of expulsion were alien to APC. He said Enang has not committed any offence that should warrant expulsion from the party.

The APC chieftain said that for the sake of the public, who may be misled to believe this lies from the pit of hell, we want to put the record straight, that Enang is still a member of APC, Eastern Ward 2, Ibiono Ibom LGA of Akwa Ibom. We have not received any news or petition from the Ward Chairman of Eastern Ward 2 against him at any time. He also said that Enang is the only light and voice of the party at the local level as well as the known voice in Akwa Ibom that has always been speaking for the party.
