Legit.ng reports that while Osinbajo was preparing for the visit to Delta, a group, the Akwa Ibom Liberation Movement (AILM) warned President Muhammadu Buhari to be wary of the APC leadership in their own state.
The warning is coming as the president prepares to visit Akwa Ibom as he commences a thank you tour nationwide after his re-election.
The group accused the APC in Akwa Ibom of working at cross purpose with the president and other national officers of the party. In an open letter to the president dated Monday, March 4, the group told Buhari that leaders of the party, “did not take your reelection as serious as they want you to believe.”
Meanwhile, Senator Gbemisola Saraki on Sunday, March 3, said she would ensure that the candidate of the APC emerged the winner in the gubernatorial election scheduled for March 9, 2019.
