The party’s spokesperson said the late politician and other party supporters were attacked while they were engaged in the training ahead of the membership registration/revalidation exercise.
He said:
“We strongly condemned the killing of our ward chairman. APC is a very peaceful party and we don’t believe in violence.
“So wherever this is coming from, the party frowns at it. We call on the security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book.''
Meanwhile, the APC has responded to the error that occurred on the membership registration form of a national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu.
The ruling party is currently conducting on-going registration and revalidation of party members. Tinubu recently posted photos of his registration form shortly after taking part in the exercise.
However, Nigerians raised some concerns after spotting an error on his form.
But the APC said the error has been corrected and signed by Tinubu's ward chairman with the date of registration put as February 6, 2021.
