The apology was contained in a press statement, titled, ‘APC Stakeholders’ Pre-Congress Meeting with the Governor of Cross River State’ and signed by Emmanuel Inyang, Publicity Secretary of the party.
According to Inyang, “The Leadership of APC, Cross River State Chapter, hereby, notifies its members, stakeholders and the general public that certain names included in the earlier list circulated in connection with the forthcoming stakeholders’ meeting scheduled for February 16, 2026, were published in error and should therefore be disregarded.
“Accordingly, the underlisted individuals, who were previously mentioned, are hereby formally removed from the list. They are Justice Emmanuel Agim, Prof. Offiong Offiong, Prof. Francisca Bassey, Chief Magistrate David Edogi and the late Major General Edward Unimna.
“The party sincerely tenders its unreserved apologies for this oversight and regrets any inconvenience this may have caused to the affected individuals and stakeholders,” the party pleaded.
