A former Chairman of Allied People’s Movement (APM) Board of Trustees (BoT), Alhaji Mohammed Bagana, on Monday dismissed claims of faction in the party.
He also rejected reports of litigation over the APM leadership.
Bagana, in a statement in Abuja, said there was no case before the Supreme Court or any court in the country on disputes in the party.
According to him, the party remains united nationwide.
The former BoT chairman welcomed the defection of the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed and his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde, along with their supporters into APM.
He said the governors’ entry marked a significant progress toward sustainable democracy and national development, adding that it would strengthen the party’s position as a credible platform.

Bagana also stated that the governors’ defections had altered Nigeria’s political landscape, positioned APM strongly for future elections and effective democratic governance.
He alleged that some anti-democratic forces, unsettled by APM’s growing strength, were spreading falsehoods about a non-existent faction to destabilise the party.
The former BoT chairman described the reports of a faction allegedly led by him as fake and mischievous, stressing that they were orchestrated by those he described as reactionary elements opposed to democratic progress.
He said his past disagreement with the APM National Chairman, Dr. Yusuf Dantalle, had been amicably resolved without lingering any dispute or litigation.
Bagana also dismissed claims by a purported factional spokesman rejecting the governors’ defection, saying that he neither authorised such statements nor appointed any spokesman.
He urged Nigerians to disregard the antics of those he described as fake news merchants attempting to discourage new members and destabilise APM.
