Associate professor and Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of circulating forged materials.
NEWSNGR reports that his allegation comes amidst a disclaimer issued by the Catholic Youth Organisation of Nigeria (CYON), which distanced itself from a document titled “Our Faith Must Rise Above Partisan Politics” circulating on social media.
The document in question was reportedly issued in response to comments by Cardinal John Onaiyekan.
However, in a statement jointly signed by its National President, Gosife Kizito Eze, National Chaplain, Rev. Fr. Maurice Mbeke, and National Secretary, Francisca A. Adesokan, CYON described the document as “false, fraudulent and unauthorised.”
The organisation clarified that the purported “Catholic Youth Association of Nigeria (CYAN)” named on the document does not exist, insisting that the publication neither originated from nor reflected the position of CYON.
CYON urged the public to disregard the document, warning that it was a deliberate act of impersonation designed to mislead Nigerians and Catholic faithful.
Reacting in a post on 𝕏 on Wednesday, Amadi argued that the ruling party could defend its position without resorting to forgery.
“Is it not possible for APC to stop forgery? You can make a powerful counterargument without resorting to forgery. Forgery is not good. Please stop,” he wrote.
