Why APC is yet to sanction Okorocha, Amosun over alleged anti-party activities

Amid calls by some supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for it to sanction governors Rochas Okorocha and Ibikunle Amosun of Imo and Ogun states, respectively, for engaging in anti-party activities, the ruling party has said it would not be stampeded to make any hasty move, but wait for the outcome of steps taken by the reconciliation committee.

There were indications, however, at the weekend that the party is under intense pressure to dissolve the Ogun State Working Committee (SWC) for alleged of anti-party activities, and replace it with a caretaker committee.

Also in the works is a plot by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC to retrieve the Ogun Central Senatorial ticket, which Amosun has in his kitty.

Both Okorocha and Amosun have been accused of bankrolling the opposition Action Alliance (AA) and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), which have handed out tickets to candidates who lost out during the recently held APC primaries in the two states.
