President Goodluck Jonathan

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.
