The party chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, condemned the
development in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.
He, however, noted that most of the state congresses were
peaceful and conducted in compliance with guidelines and directives given by
the party to the appointed congress committees.
He added that the party found cases of violence in Rivers
and Kaduna states quite disturbing.
“The party equally regrets and condemns the attack on the
Nigeria Union of Journalists secretariat in Kaduna, which resulted in injuries
to two journalists.
“The party will investigate the reported cases and take
necessary action in line with its constitution against whoever is found
culpable,” Odigie-Oyegun said.
He congratulated and commended all the states, whose exercises
were peaceful and promised that the party would examine reported cases of
grievances with a view of addressing them.
A fraction of APC in Kaduna State had petitioned the party´s
leadership on the state congress, which they said did not hold.
A member of the fraction, Sen. Shehu Sani, who represents
Kaduna Central in the Senate, had alleged that the delegates’ list for the
election was altered and that due process was not followed in the conduct of
the congress.
“They sat down in the palace of their gods to write names
and sent it down here for us to accept; that can never happen,” Sani had said.
He called on the national leadership of APC to rescue the
party in Kaduna State from imminent destruction.
