His words, “I’m the state chairman of APC legacy group, Barr. Eyo Nsa Ekpo, I have come across a statement by comrade Iso Edim, purportedly on behalf of APC Legacy Group.
“Now the issue is that while we are not against their discussions about the happenings in APC in Calabar Municipality, the statement was issued on behalf of APC Legacy Group.
“I think it is strictly within the purview of APC members and stakeholders in APC Calabar Municipality. Legacy Group does not have any issues with APC in Calabar Municipality and we don’t have any issues with the state chairman of APC, Barr. Alphonsus Eba. The APC Legacy Group has no bones whatsoever to pick with the state chairman of APC, Barr. Alphonsus Eba.
Continuing Ekpo disclosed that, “The statement issued by Comr. Iso Bassey Edim is strictly in his personal capacity as a chieftain of the APC in Calabar Municipality and not on behalf of APC Legacy Group. I as chairman did not authorise him to issue such a statement.”
