The national working committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended Governor Ibikunle Amosu of Ogun state and his counterpart, Rochas Okorocha of Imo state from the party.

According to a report by TheCable, the NWC also recommended to the national executive committee (NEC) of the party that both governors be expelled from the APC.

The newspaper states that the decision was taken on Friday afternoon, March 1, in Abuja, by the national working committee based on allegations of anti-party activities levelled against the governors.

Amosun and Okorocha won senatorial seats on the platform of the APC but are supporting candidates of other parties for the March 9 governorship elections in their respective states.
