Addressing newsmen in Ile-Ife, the Chairman of APC Campaign Committee for Ife Zone, Folorunso Bamisayemi, stated that the plot to cause mayhem and prevent the party from kick-starting its rally would not hold as the APC was poised to continue the developmental programmes is has for the state.
Bamisayemi, however, said that the party has alerted the Police and the Department of State Security Service, DSS, about the plot and warned whoever was behind it to desist from such acts capable of causing chaos in the town.
