The attention of the North Central APC Forum has been drawn to a laughable, misleading and completely unfounded report circulating online, falsely claiming that Hon. Saleh Zazzaga “apologised” to the APC National Chairman, His Excellency Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The so-called “report” authored by Seth Mancha Masungu is a deliberate distortion of the outcome of a strategic meeting convened by the Forum — a meeting which never discussed apologies, neither in private nor public.
For clarity:
The gathering in question was to restate the Forum’s long-standing position and to urge members not to respond to unnecessary negative expressions as party members, given that:
The core agitation of the Forum which is the return of the APC National Chairmanship to the North Central has been achieved, and the call encouraging H.E. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang to join the APC has yielded significant positive attention.
At no point was any apology mentioned, demanded, suggested, or issued.
It is impossible to “suspend” or “withdraw” an agitation that began over two years ago, has been pursued consistently, and has now recorded visible victories.
The Forum stands proudly by its record and has nothing to apologise for.
The claim that Elder Zazzaga “withdrew his comment” or “reaffirmed loyalty after elderly intervention” is pure fiction.
The Forum leadership continues to operate with unity, focus, and unwavering commitment to strengthening the APC in North Central Nigeria.
The only confusion in circulation is that manufactured by the writer, whose motivations remain unclear. The Forum’s position has always been public, deliberate, and strategic.
Governor Mutfwang, like any Nigerian, is mature enough to make political decisions but the Forum does not speak for him, nor did it claim to.
The narrative being pushed is a misrepresentation designed to sow seeds of division where none exists.
It does not represent the facts.
It does not represent the position of Hon. Saleh Zazzaga.
It does not represent the position of the North Central APC Forum.
Hon. Zazzaga remains committed to the APC under the capable leadership of the National Chairman, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, and continues to work harmoniously with party stakeholders in consolidating recent gains.
In conclusion, the public is advised to disregard the fabricated report in its entirety. The Forum remains focused, united, and committed to strengthening the APC and advancing the political aspirations of the North Central zone.
