Ogun: APC to sanction Amosun for presidential rally violence
TRACKING>>All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it will sanction Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, for sponsoring the premeditated attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari and other senior party leaders at the venue of the state’s presidential campaign rally, on Monday.
A statement from the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, described the incident as one act of indiscipline too many, and emphasied that the APC will not condone acts of indiscipline, indiscretion and anti-party activities from any party member, no matter how highly placed.
While revealing that decision would be taken against the governor immediately after the elections, the statement from the ruling party read: “The APC regrets Monday’s premeditated attacks sponsored by Governor Ibikunle Amosun on President Buhari and other senior party leaders, at the venue of the presidential campaign rally in Ogun State. This is one act of indiscipline too many. The APC will not condone acts of indiscipline, indiscretion and anti-party activities from any party member, no matter how highly placed.
“The party will review this gross misconduct of deliberately positioning thugs to attack and embarrass the president and the party’s leadership, and take a decision on the matter immediately after the elections.
“It must be stated that party supremacy and discipline, according to our constitution, are not matters of choice, but binding principles, which must be adhered to by all party members. The APC is a party known for discipline, justice, fairness and equality, hence, any plan to destroy what this party stands for would be rejected.
“No single person will be allowed to put his personal and selfish interests ahead of the wishes of the people of Ogun State and elsewhere. The decision of the National Working Committee to uphold the wishes of party members is unbendable.
“Therefore, whatever means being presently deployed by persons intending to undermine the wishes of the people for personal gains will not be tolerated. We urge our teeming party supporters and members not to be disturbed by Monday’s condemnable incident.
“We urge all to continue trooping out en masse for our remaining campaigns and vote massively for all and only APC candidates in the forthcoming general election,” the party said in the statement.
