Why do you think this?

what clues do you glean from the NT to point in such a direction?  How do
you handle the response of some in Corinth who deny not only that Paul is an
apostle, but that he is a genuine one at that?  Why does the NT never focus
on the 12 in the post pauline epistles if he was one of the 12?

I have never even heard it suggested.

Sorry that its not really a response--- but you raise so many questions I
just had to ask....
