The national leadership of the ruling party, APC has condemned the violence and confusion that broke out at the presidential rally in Ogun state on Monday, February 11 - The party vowed to punish Governor Ibikunle Amosun for allegedly sponsoring thugs to throw objects at President Muhammadu Buhari and other members of the party leadership.

The party added that it will take a decision on the right disciplinary measure that will be meted to the governor after the forthcoming general elections. The party alleged that Governor Ibikunle Amosun was responsible for sponsoring thugs to throw objects at President Muhammadu Buhari and other party chieftains at its campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun state yesterday.

According to a statement made available to newsmen, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC's spokesman, stated that the state governor will be punished after the general elections.

Contrary to President Buhari's position, the ruling party asked its supporters in the state to vote for its governorship candidate, Prince Dapo Abiodun during the governorship poll on Saturday, March 2.

The statement reads, "The All Progressives Congress (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. "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. "It must be stated that party supremacy and discipline according to our constitution are not matters of choice but binding principles which must be adhered to by ALL party members''.

"The APC is a party known for discipline, justice, fairness and equality hence any plan to destroy what this party stands for would be rejected. 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 statement added

In canvassing for its governorship candidate in the state, the statement said, "We urge our teeming party supporters and members not to be disturbed by Monday's condemnable incident. We urge all to continue trooping out enmasse for our remaining campaigns and vote massively for ALL and ONLY APC candidates in the forthcoming general elections."

Violence broke out at the presidential campaign rally of the ruling APC in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Monday, 11th February, 2019.

The atmosphere became charged when the Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, came on stage to campaign for the APC and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), a party he is supporting against the APC.

Response from a former governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, asking the people to vote for only the candidates of the APC in the state threw the entire place into disarray as supporters of the governors threw stones and pure water sachet at the President Muhammed Buhari and the party’s chairman, Adams Oshiomole.

The campaign came to an abrupt end as violence broke in the stadium as the President was presenting the party’s candidate, Dapo Abiodun to the party members.
