ACN, Presidency clash over Jonathan's Lagos visit today.



President Goodluck Jonathan’s scheduled visit to Lagos today has sparked  a war of words between the Action Congress of Nigeria and the Presidency.
Jonathan is expected to arrive  in Lagos on Thursday (today) en route  to Ibafo in Ogun State where he will  inaugurate WEMPCO’s  Cold Roll Steel Plant.
But  the ACN  said on Wednesday that  the visit  was primarily aimed at  scuttling  its national convention today  at the Onikan Stadium, Lagos.  The  Presidency however described the allegation as baseless and another in the series of “wolf crying” that has become the ACN trait.
The party, in a letter to the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), said Jonathan’s visit might lead to the closure of roads in  the city,  thus preventing its supporters across the country from coming for the convention.

The statement issued on behalf of the minister by her Special Assistant, Media, Joe Obi, reads in part, “The presentation of false information or forged documentation to regulatory authorities in the processing of official approvals or permits is clearly a serious violation of the Civil Aviation Act, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations and other extant criminal laws in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
