A circulating claim alleging that stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Boki I and II Constituencies have endorsed Hon. Victor Abang has been firmly rejected, with key voices describing the report as entirely fabricated and misleading.
In a strongly worded press statement issued by concerned stakeholders from across Boki, the endorsement narrative was dismissed as “a lie manufactured to create an illusion of support where none exists.”
No Meeting, No Mandate, No Endorsement
According to the statement, there was no official meeting of APC stakeholders in Boki where such a decision was reached. The stakeholders stressed that no consensus was formed and no mandate was given to any aspirant, including Hon. Victor Abang.
“What we are witnessing is a crude attempt to hijack public perception and stampede the people into a decision they have neither discussed nor approved,” the statement read.
The rebuttal directly contradicts the widely circulated claim that “Boki APC Stakeholders” had unanimously adopted Abang as a preferred candidate ahead of upcoming political processes.
Stakeholders Accuse Promoters of Political Deception
The statement did not mince words in condemning the alleged endorsement, describing it as a “desperate and poorly scripted” act of political deception.
Sources within the constituency further allege that the rumour is being actively circulated by elements within the camp of Victor Abang, driven by growing anxiety over what they describe as an increasingly uncertain 2027 political landscape. According to these claims, the narrative of “adoption” is being pushed to create artificial momentum and project strength where internal confidence may be wavering.
Observers say the move appears calculated to shape perception through media narratives rather than reflect genuine grassroots consensus. However, stakeholders insist that such tactics will not succeed in Boki’s political environment, which they describe as historically resistant to imposition.
“You cannot outsource legitimacy. You cannot print acceptance,” the statement emphasized, warning against attempts to manipulate public opinion through propaganda.
APC Process Still Ongoing
The stakeholders further reaffirmed that the APC has an established and transparent process for selecting its candidates a process that is currently ongoing and binding on all aspirants.
They cautioned that any attempt to bypass this system through unofficial endorsements or media stunts undermines party discipline and democratic order.
“Anyone trying to sidestep the process is simply advertising their disregard for the rules of engagement within the party,” a party source noted.
“Boki Rewards Value, Not Noise”
Reiterating the political culture of the constituency, the statement underscored that Boki voters prioritize proven impact over rhetoric.
“Boki does not reward volume; Boki rewards value. Not sudden appearances, but sustained presence. Not empty claims, but verifiable impact,” the stakeholders declared.
They added that leadership in the constituency is earned through consistent service and visible contributions to governance and development not through “headline-driven legitimacy.”
Public Urged to Disregard False Reports
The stakeholders concluded by urging the public to treat the endorsement claim with “the contempt it deserves,” insisting that the people of Boki will ultimately decide through credible and democratic means.
“The people of Boki will decide not through planted stories or orchestrated endorsements, but through informed judgment and due process,” the statement concluded.
As political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 elections, this development highlights growing concerns over misinformation and narrative manipulation within local party structures. Stakeholders warn that such tactics, if left unchecked, could undermine trust in the democratic process.
