The All Progressives Congress (APC) State Congress Appeal Committee for Niger State, says it has not received any petition on the conduct of the exercise.
Chairman of the appeal committee, Chief Ray Murphy, explained in a statement in Abuja.
He said the state adopted consensus which every interest group participated.
He said, “From ward congresses through local government, up to state level, the APC congresses in Niger were splendid.
“The state adopted the option of consensus in which every interest group was represented and carried along.
“As the chairman of the Appeal Committee for the three levels of Congress, I can confirm that we received no petition or complaint.
“My committee was on ground in Minna at the Party Secretariat and no one showed up with either a written or oral petition.
“We had several stakeholders meeting and all we were getting was commendation for the democratic and inclusive nature of the process in Niger state.
“I am therefore surprised that anyone can claim that he or she sought to submit a petition and was denied.
“That in my view is a figment of such a person’s imagination because the congresses were done in the open and witnessed by all relevant agencies that were empowered to do so.
“Our sittings as an Appeal Committee were also in the open. No one showed up to complain.”
