The party in a press statement signed by Yekini Nabena Ag. National Publicity Secretary, sent to Vanguard said the APC was monitoring the developments in the National Assembly like every other concerned Nigerian and stakeholder.

‘Our attention has been drawn to mischievous attempts in some partisan quarters to link Tuesday’s developments in the National Assembly to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

‘While the Party is monitoring the developments in the National Assembly like every other concerned Nigerian and stakeholder, there is absolutely no basis for all the false allegations and attempt to blame the APC National Chairman for the development there. It is strictly a legislative matter.’
