The All Progressives Congress has said that the recent suspension of current Governors, Rochas Okorocha and Ibikunle Amosun will have no negative effect on the victory they desire in the March 9 governorship and state House of Assembly election.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu assured party faithfuls and supporters in a recent interview.
He said, “As to the effect it will have in the coming governorship and State House of Assembly elections, the real negative effect will come when we allow our members who are in position of influence to undermine our candidates.
“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,”
“They occupy the position they are in today, courtesy of the ticket given to them by this party, to now use that opportunity to work against the interest of the party, you do not expect the party to look the other way.
“More so when you realise that APC is a party of discipline that has come to establish the fact that to deepen democracy, you must subject everybody to the rule of law, and that there must be equality for all before the law,”
“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.”
