The party claimed the presidential media aide is not a card carrying member of the party.

The All Progressives Congress has said that Lauretta Onochie is not a member of the party. This is according to a report by Politics Nigeria which quoted the party as saying that the presidential media aide is not a card carrying member of the party. In a communique on Sunday signed by Cyprian Ashibuogu, Clement Ozegbe, Nkem Osu and Onyeisi Nwokolobia, the party admonished the Senate to ignore protests and petitions against the nomination of Onochie.“She is a technocrat and has been part of us and she is not a card-carrying member of our party.” Onochie was nominated to become a commissioner for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC in Delta state. Her nomination has met serious opposition as she is believed to be partisan and a strong supporter of the APC. She, however disclosed during her screening at the senate that she stopped being a party member in 2019. The APC also described as ‘false’, a petition from a senatorial district in Delta State which has vehemently opposed her nomination because she is ‘Anioma daughter’.
