The party in a tweet on its official handle @OfficialAPCNg and signed by its acting national Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena said the development at the National Assembly is strictly a legislative matter.

While the Party is monitoring the developments @nassnigeria like every concerned Nigerian & stakeholder, there is absolutely no basis for the false allegations & attempt to blame the National Chairman for the development there. It is strictly a legislative matter – @ynabena

The reaction by the APC comes few hours after security officials stormed the premises of the National Assembly barricading the entrance.
The masked security operatives and officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) arrived at the National Assembly very early on Tuesday morning and prevented lawmakers, members of staff of the National Assembly and journalists from entering the complex.
