APC vows to probe irregularities in state congresses

By Bode Olagoke Abuja

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned reported cases of violence relating to the party’s state congresses held last Saturday to elect delegates for the planned national nonelective convention, assuring that it will probe the cases. In a statement signed by the national chairman of APC, Chief John Oyegun last night, noted that most of the state congresses were peaceful and conducted in compliance with guidelines and directives given by the party to the appointed congress committees, but the party found cases of violence in Rivers and Kaduna states quite disturbing.

“The party equally regrets and condemns the attack on the National Union of Journalist (NUJ) secretariat in Kaduna which resulted in injuries to two journalists. “The party will investigate the reported cases and take necessary action in line with the Party’s constitution against whoever is found culpable. “The party congratulates and commends all the states whose exercise went peacefully. Where grievances have been reported, the party shall examine such cases and address them, accordingly.
