The former Lagos State military governor and one of the chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, Brid.-Gen. Buba Marwa (retd.), has denied plans to form a parallel party to be known as New APC.
Marwae described such rumours as part of the antics of mischief makers, who did not wish the party well.
According to a statement signed on his behalf by Bello Zubairu and made available to newsmen via electronic mail, in Abuja, on Thursday, Marwa said he was completely unaware of any such move.
“I know nothing about it. Nobody has brought such things to my knowledge. I am neither a party to nor did I sit with anyone or group to discuss such a move,” the statement said, warning that his name should not be bandied about something he knew nothing about.
Some online media had on Wednesday published a statement purporting that Marwa and other members of the legacy political parties had concluded arrangements to float a parallel faction of the party.
