Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state and his Ogun State counterpart Ibikunle Amosun, have been suspended by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The party’s NWC this Friday said it recommended the expulsion of the both governors from the party for their anti-party activities.
It is well known that governors Okorocha and Amosun are supporting different candidates for the governorship election in their states.
Okorocha, who won a Senate seat as APC candidate, is backing his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu campaigning for Imo governor as candidate of Action Alliance.
Amosun, who also won a Senate seat as APC senator last week, is also supporting a member of the House of Representatives, Abdulkadir Akinlade, as governor as a member of the Allied Peoples Movement.
In Imo, APC has Senator Hope Uzodinma as its governorship candidate. Prince Dapo Abiodun is the candidate in Ogun. Amosun was roundly criticised in February when he flooded an APC presidential rally in Abeokuta with APM supporters. The incident almost went awry as the APM mob nearly stoned President Muhammadu Buhari
