The All Progressives Congress (APC) has vowed to discipline Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun state, for allegedly positioning thugs to attack and embarrassment shown at President Muhammadu Buhari at the Ogun state Presidential rally on Monday.

Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC National Publicity Secretary, made this known in a statement released on Tuesday. According to him, the party regretted Monday’s alleged premeditated attacks purportedly sponsored by Governor Ibikunle Amosun on President Buhari and other senior party leaders at the venue of the presidential campaign rally in Ogun State.

The APC spokesman disclosed that the party would review what he called ‘gross misconduct’, added that party supremacy and discipline were not matters of choice but binding principles which must be adhered to by all party members.

Issa-Onilu however charged party supporters and members not to be disturbed by Monday’s condemnable incident, implored all to continue trooping out enmasse for the remaining campaigns and vote massively for only APC candidates in the forthcoming general elections.

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. The party will take a decision on this matter immediately after the elections,” the statement read in part," the APC spokesman said.
