Suspension of Amosun, Okorocha, will not affect APC in governorship elections – APC
The All Progressives Congress says the suspension of governors Rochas Okorocha and Ibikunle Amosun of Imo and Ogun respectively, will not affect the party’s victory in the March 9, governorship and state House of Assembly election.
“We need to get it clear to every member who supports such actions that the party is watching them, and similar fate may befall them,” Mr Issa-Onilu said. NAN recalls that in Ogun, Mr Amosun is backing AbdulKadir Akinlade, the governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement against APC’s Dapo Abiodun.
Mr Issa-Onilu stressed that as far as the APC was concerned, no matter what position an individual held, the party would not give him any leverage when he flaunted the rules or the constitution of the party. “This actually embarrassed our president, but we thought at that period, we were facing the presidential and National Assembly Election and that it was not the appropriate time for us to do anything that might be destructive to our course, so we waited,” he said.
He further explained that the VON DG was suspended also, because of his anti-party activities in the recent past, which he said had been documented. He, however, said that the duration of their suspension would be determined by the time the report of the investigative committee on the matter was submitted to the party’s National Executive Committee .
