Amosun and Okorocha
The All Progressives Congres, APC, has suspended Governor, Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State and Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo
The NWC of the party further recommended the expulsion of the two men from the party for “brazen anti-party activities” at a meeting held on Friday in Abuja.
Recall that both governors are supporting different candidates for the governorship election in their states.
Okorocha, who won a Senate seat as APC candidate, is backing his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu campaigning for Imo governor as candidate of Action Alliance.
Amosun, who also won a Senate seat as APC senator last week, is also supporting a member of the House of Representatives, Abdulkadir Akinlade, as governor as a member of the Allied Peoples Movement.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr Lanre Issa-Onilu, confirming the suspension to Channels Television on Friday, disclosed that upon the suspension, the committee further recommended the expulsion of governors Okorocha and Amosun to the National Executive Council of the party.
Also suspended are the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Usani Uguru; and the Director General of Voice of Nigeria, Osita Okechukwu.
