The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State has officially denied reports that Rev. Fr. David Terzugwe Golozo is the party’s consensus candidate for the Gboko West (Gbemacha) State Constituency in the 2027 general elections.
The Gboko LGA chairman, Hon. Terfa Iorgilim, signed a statement saying that the party’s position is not reflected in the publication that is currently going around on social media.
The statement called the claim “false, misleading, and completely unauthorized,” and it said that it looks like a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and change how the party works.
The statement said, “To be clear, the APC in Gboko LGA has never chosen or supported any one person as a consensus candidate for the said constituency.”
The party also made it clear that none of its ward structures, key stakeholders, or the State Working Committee had approved such a decision.
The APC leadership says that this development is “political mischief” that could cause unnecessary tension in the party and in politics in general.
It told the people or groups behind the claim to take it down right away, saying that any member found guilty could face disciplinary action.
The APC promised again that the process for choosing candidates would be open and follow the Constitution. They also promised that official decisions would be made known to members and supporters through the right channels.
The statement ended with a clear message: there is currently no consensus candidate for the APC in Gboko West (Gbemacha).
