APC Moves to Sideline Amosun, Okorocha in Presidential Campaign
The All Progressives Congress (APC) is to go tough on Governors Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun State) and Rochas Okorocha (Imo State) for their recalcitrance over the outcomes of the party’s primaries that edged out their preferred governorship candidates in their states.
Party sources confided in THISDAY last night that despite their expression of support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s rerun aspiration, both governors would be kept at arms’ length from the presidential campaign billed to take off in the early weeks of January next year.
The revelation came just as the spokesman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), has dismissed concerns over the campaign programme of the APC, saying the party will not copy the campaign style of the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A reliable source in the APC told THISDAY that the list of membership of the campaign team is ready and that the president has given the national leadership the nod to unveil it.
