APC Crisis: I Will Not Be Pushed To Resign – Akpanudoedehe

Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, of the All Progressives Congress, APC Caretaker Extraordinary and Convention Planning Committee, CECPC has said he didn’t resign his office.

Speaking to newsmen late on Tuesday, Akpanudoedehe said that the news of his resignation did not emanate from him alluding to a plot to push him out of the office.

“I have read in social media that I have resigned as Secretary of the APC. I want to state that it is not true that I resigned. If I have resigned, you would have seen my letter of resignation written by me. Someone cannot just say somebody is dead when he is alive.

” I am not bigger than the party, or bigger than the president who is leader of the country. I am waiting for me national chairman to come back.

” We have done so much for this party. When we inherited this party, if you can recall, it was in its lowest ebb. We built the party and recovered a lot of grounds. We were able to register 41 million members. And we bought this secretariat of the party.

” We have been able to recover what we lost. We lost and brought in a lot of governors.

” We have been able to go round this country and the Constitution that was a difficult thing to do, we have done it in less than one year.

“We have done reconciliation, ward, local governments and state congresses. And we are about to do the national convention.  This is not the first time you are seeing power play.

” I am waiting for the Chairman. If we have directive from the president that we should resign, we are not bigger than the president, we will do so, if we hear from him,” Akpanudoedehe said in reaction to the claims on his position in the APC.

“Somebody cannot say go and announce he is resigning. Like MKO Abiola used to say you don’t shave someone’s head in his absence. So, we have done so much.

” And you will agree with me that when we came in, this place was like a dead zone. The secretariat was moved to a private home. But we were committed to what we were doing..

I am stating here that that breaking news is not from me. I don’t know who announced it.

 ” Our relationship is very cordial. I don’t have any load. I have never changed my furniture. The photograph is official. I have not packed anything. I have not received any letter.

” Someone cannot say the president said. I have not received any letter from anywhere. As I said, nobody is bigger than the party. The issue  that, have resigned, the answer is no. I am the national secretary of the party”.
