The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressive Congress, APC has raised the alarm over an alleged plans by none party members to cause crisis at the Tuesday, January 29, 2019 scheduled presidential rally at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, in Owerri, Imo State.
The APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, said information available to the NWC revealed alleged plans by the members of the Action Alliance (AA) to storm the venue to create mayhem as they sought to hijack the APC campaign to promote the troubled ambition of their governorship candidate, Mr Uche Nwosu.
Issa-Onilu said the AA governorship candidate recently held his governorship rally at the same Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri without APC members interfering or disturbing their programme.
He said that the scheduled rally was an APC rally and the party had no alliance with any political party and would not tolerate attempts by some persons under any guise to create chaotic atmosphere at the venue of the rally.
He urged the security agencies, including the Imo State Commissioner of Police and the Director of DSS to ensure no individual, group or political party was allowed to create chaos before, during, and after the APC rally.
While reiterating that only genuine supporters and members were allowed into the venue in order to have a hitch free rally, he implored party members in Imo State to remain vigilant and ensure the success of their candidates in Imo State.
“The APC is fully in support of all our candidates in Imo State and we would do everything within the laws to ensure the success of all our candidates in the forthcoming general elections. This position has been clearly and repeatedly stated by President Muhammadu Buhari, throughout our campaigns so far,” Issa-Onilu said.
