Dr. Muiz Banire (SAN), National Legal Adviser to the All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied purported report that he has been suspended from the party.

“My attention has been drawn to a press release purportedly emanating from the Lagos State Government on behalf of some miscreants masquerading as All Progressives Congress members. Assuming, without conceding, that this was genuine members of the party, it is evidence of the lawlessness.”

“If these crooked elements were members of the party, they would know that by the Constitution of the Party, it is the National Executive Committee that can remove a national officer of the party responsible for the 36 states of the federation”

“I, therefore urge the members of the public to ignore these undesirable and mischievous elements together with their antics. Their actions showcase their desperation to foist lawlessness on the party and the citizenry at large.”

“It is important for me to state that their aim is to cause me unwarranted embarrassment and intimidation with the hope that I, in my usual responsible way, would step aside or resign from my position as the National Legal Adviser of the Party. However, to the monstrosity of irresponsibility and illicitness of their conduct and agenda, I am duty bound to remain in office till the expiration of my tenure. Our great Party cannot be allowed to surrender to the idiocy of any person or group whatsoever.”

“Once again, I urge the members of the public to ignore these unscrupulous fellows and their antics.”
