Lagos Campaign: Those Involved In Violence Are APC Members – APC spokesman,

The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Lagos State has confirmed that those involved in the violence that took place during the flag off of the governorship campaign in the state were APC members.

The State Public Relation Officer of the Party, Joe Igbokwe, in a Facebook post accepted that members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers who clashed at the flag-off of the party’s campaign in the state and stabbed a factional leader of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Musiliu Akinsanya, were all APC members.

The spokesman said that the incident that led to the stabbing of MC Oluomo, was actually a supremacy battle between two fraction of the group, but he wondered why they brought their disagreement to the campaign ground.

He, while responding to a comment by a facebook user about the incident said: “We are not denying they are our members, but must they take their struggle for power and supremacy to our campaign ground to endanger other people?”

Igbokwe, who said that he had not seen such massive turnout since the inception of his tenure as the Spokesperson of the state chapter of the party, expressed his appreciation to residents of the state for showing their support for the party.
