However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state had alleged that the Governor sponsored the yesterday April 1, attack on its secretariat.
Members of the party had returned from a peaceful street to street procession to celebrate General Buhari’s emergence as Nigeria’s President-elect, when gunmen rained bullets on its secretariat, destroying about five cars.

Fayose had denied involvement in the incident, rather he countered that the APC orchestrated it and wanted the public to believe it was carried out by outsiders.
