Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday, dismissed speculations of plans to stop aspirants on third term aspirants from contesting the forthcoming elections.

Chairman of the party in the state, Chief Henry Ajomale, dispelled the rumours in a statement issued by the Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Joe Igbokwe.

Ajomale said: “The reports now making the rounds about alleged decision by the leadership of APC in Lagos to stop aspirants from contesting after a second term is a fallacy.

“There is no iota of truth in the report as no such decision was reached. It is a total mis-representation of the decision reached and such information must have emanated from Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, agents and not APC.

“The Governors’ Advisory Committee, GAC, never issued such a directive or reached such a decision.

“The APC believes in the inalienable rights of every eligible member to contest for any elective office for as many terms as possible as long as it is constitutional.”
