We’re not involved in Ondo Assembly invasion, says APC

The State Publicity Secretary, Alex Kalejaye, said the chairman was only at the assembly to pacify the lawmakers, but he was assaulted and told that it was not a party affair. According to him, the chairman got the information that the lawmakers were planning the impeachment of the Speaker and his deputy. Speaking further, Kalejaiye said “The Chairman’s intention was to explore ways to pacify aggrieved members and ensure the situation did not degenerate to an ugly scene. Unfortunately, he was rebuffed by some members, who actually assaulted him, saying it was purely a party affair. “It therefore amounts to a deliberate blackmail for any person or group to insinuate or say that a well-cultured democrat like Mr. Adetimehin would lead thugs to attack the honourable members of the House.” The party urged security agencies to carry out a thorough investigation into the matter and ensure punishment or sanction those found culpable.]]>
