APC Crisis: Oshiomhole Conducted The Most Fraudulent Party Primaries In Nigerian History – Oyegun
By Political Editor
John Odigie-Oyegun has described his successor as chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole as running the most fraudulent primaries in the history of political parties in the country.
Responding to the assertions of the Oshiomhole led National Working Committee, NWC made earlier on Tuesday, Odigie-Oyegun, the immediate former national chairman of the ruling party chided his successor for always looking for scapegoats and making excuses for his failures.
A statement by Ray Morphy, Adviser, Public Affairs to Chief John Oyegun issued on Tuesday following revelations by Mallam Lanre Isaa-Onilu, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC that Odigie-Oyegun bequeathed the troubles now troubling the party.
Responding, Odigie-Oyegun in the statement while flaying the Oshiomhole Executive for always looking for excuses and scapegoats even after almost one year in office, said:
“It is common knowledge that Oshiomhole ran the most fraudulent primaries in the history of politics in Nigeria. Recall that INEC said so when it adjudged Oshiomhole primaries as the worst so far. The courts are saying the same thing today by upturning many APC primaries for being undemocratic and less than fair. Was it Oyegun who ran the primaries?
“Oyegun, an accomplished technocrat, a super permanent secretary, a former Governor, a man without blemish working with others cobbled together creditably the legacy parties, and held them together with tact, diplomacy and finesse until Oshiomhole came along. To his credit, Oyegun did not lose one member of the party.
“As an elder, as a leader, Chief John Odigie Oyegun will not join issues with those who apparently are casting about looking for excuses for their inability to manage a ruling party successfully.
“Indeed it is absurd to lose states with all the capacity at the disposal of the current Chair. Party members know that APC witnessed its golden years under the chairmanship of Oyegun and no one can change that bit of political history.
“By the way, the vote increase to Mr President is a reflection of the confidence the people repose in the President despite the fumbles of the Oshiomhole sole administratorship of the party!”
