The All Progressives Congress (APC) has  vowed to sanction its members involved in anti-party activities during the Kogi governorship election on November 11.

 

Abdullahi Bello, the state APC chairman, made this announcement while receiving the report from an 11-man committee tasked with reviewing the 2023 governorship election across 21 local government areas (LGAs) in the state

 

“We shall study the report and recommendations and see how we shall deal with members who worked against the party during the Nov. 11, 2023 governorship election in the state.

 

“For the fact that we won the election, we still know that some members were not 100 per cent loyal to the party.

 

That is what compelled us into setting up the committee in the first place so that we can nib in bud such disturbing acts.

 

Therefore, those members of the party who did anti-party activities will definitely be punished,” he said.

 

The chairman, however, said that the party would reward members who work very hard for the success of the party at the poll.

 

The committee, headed by the Speaker, Kogi House of Assembly, Umar Yusuf, was set up by the party to review its performance at the poll.

 

Presenting the report, Bashir Mohammed-Abubakar, co-chairman of the committee and the state’s commissioner for solid mineral resources, said that the committee was able to complete the assignment within the stipulated time.

 

Abubakar, who represented the chairman, pointed out that the committee met 10 times with Gov. Yahaya Bello and his deputy in the course of its duty.

 

“At the setting up of this committee, we were given two weeks to complete our assignment, and thanks be to God, we have concluded it.

 

“We are today presenting to our party chairman our findings and recommendations.

 

“It’s our hope that the report and recommendations will be useful to the party in future elections,” he said.
