The Kaduna State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, on Friday urged its supporters to ignore the rumours that it had already selected officials for the various wards in the state.
Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the interim state chairman of the party made the call at a news briefing in Kaduna.
He said it was untrue that the 17-member congress committee constituted to conduct the ward congress had since anointed those to be presented to members for ratification on Saturday.
He said: Party members should ignore the rumours that the committee or any of its members, has directed that positions should be shared or a specific person must emerge as consensus candidate.
He said that all members of the APC are entitled to contest for any position during the congress in line with the partys constitution and guideline.
The chairman said even where a consensus candidate emerges, the person must be endorsed by the party members at the ward.
In an event that there is no consensus, election will hold. For the avoidance of doubt, the committee is not compiling any list of anointed candidates, he said.
Baba-Ahmed assured all those wishing to contest, that the election would be safe, secure and transparent.
He advised all the party members to be orderly, law abiding and shun any conduct that would threaten the peaceful conduct of the congresses.
