The Cross River State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a warning to its members against engaging in unauthorized legal actions in the name of the party. This cautionary statement was made by the State Chairman, Alphonsus Eba, during a press briefing at the APC secretariat in Calabar on Monday.

The APC leadership expressed dissatisfaction over a legal petition allegedly filed by some concerned APC stakeholders in Northern Cross River. Eba emphasized that the party does not condone or authorize any legal actions without its explicit consent. He reiterated that any member found engaging in such activities would face disciplinary actions.
The APC’s decision to caution its members stems from a desire to maintain unity and cohesion within the party. According to Eba, unauthorized legal actions could undermine the party’s efforts to strengthen its base and achieve electoral success in the 2027 elections.
The warning serves as a reminder to party members to adhere to the APC’s constitution and guidelines. Any actions deemed detrimental to the party’s interests or reputation will be addressed accordingly. Members are urged to seek approval from the party leadership before engaging in any legal or public activities.
In a related development, the Cross River APC has endorsed Governor Bassey Otu and his deputy, Peter Odey, as the party’s sole candidates for the 2027 governorship election. The endorsement was made after a joint resolution by the State Working Committee and the State Executive Committee, citing the governor’s excellent leadership and achievements.
The APC’s warning against unauthorized legal actions underscores the party’s commitment to maintaining order and discipline within its ranks. As the party prepares for the 2027 elections, members are expected to work together towards achieving electoral success.
