The All Progressives Congress
(APC) says the attack on President Muhammadu Buhari, Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the party, and other leaders at a rally in Ogun state were
sponsored by Ibikunle Amosun, governor of the state.
Aggrieved persons threw objects
at the president after he raised the hand of Dapo Abiodun, the APC governorship
candidate in the state, at the party’s campaign rally.
In a statement on Tuesday, Lanre
Issa-Onilu, APC spokesman, said the party “will review this gross misconduct of
deliberately positioning thugs to attack and embarrass the President and the
party’s leadership.”
Issa-Onilu said any plan to
destroy what this party stands for would be rejected.
“The APC regrets Monday’s
premeditated attacks sponsored by Governor Ibikunle Amosun on President
Muhammadu Buhari and other senior party leaders at the venue of the
presidential campaign rally in Ogun state,” he said.
“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. 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.
“Post primaries, 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.”
The spokesman said party members
should not to be disturbed by Monday’s “condemnable incident.”
