Parallel congresses: APC threatens to expel, suspend Osun, Kwara, Delta, others’ errant members - Punch Newspapers

But the state Organising Secretary of the party, Amorighoye Mene, said the ward congress was not held in Delta State.

The SWAGA national chairman, who spoke at a press conference in Ado Ekiti, said, “We are hereby telling the Caretaker/Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee, our party members nationwide and indeed, all Nigerians, that there was no congress in Ekiti State yesterday . What happened was a charade that cannot pass the test of democracy and it is totally unacceptable”.

“We are miffed by this level of desperation and wanton electoral recklessness. If it will take killings, wounding of over a hundred of our members and all sorts of violence, for the Tokan-tokan group to succeed in an intra-party contest, what are we going to witness in a general election?“It is disheartening that those charged with the responsibility to strengthen our party in Ekiti are rather pillaging and giving it all sorts of bad names on the track of violence.

He said, “It is incontrovertible that the congress in the ward was peacefully concluded, followed by a celebration. Afterwards, there was a disagreement between two individuals around the venue on a matter totally unconnected to the congresses, which led to a fight and the unfortunate demise of one of them.

Liman said any action taken by the caretaker committee, including the Saturday’s Ward congress, was null and void, stressing that all those elected as ward leaders would not preside over the affairs of the party.
