The ongoing crisis rocking the ruling party, All
Progressives Congress (APC), has taken a new
turn as one of the party’s National Working
Committee (NWC) member, Timi Frank has
called for the resignation of the party’s national
chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun.
APC National Chairman, John Oyegun
While speaking in Abuja yesterday, Frank
blamed the chairman and some members of
the APC’s NWC for the crisis that resulted
from the election of leaders of the National
Assembly.
According to The Sun, the NWC member said
that the chairman and leadership of the party
should resign having embarked on an
embarrassing mock election that never had
the blessings of the entire party’s leadership
which ridiculed the party.
Frank said that the leadership showed
incompetence to manage the National
Assembly issue until it blew out of hand as a
result of the interest manifested by the
chairman and few of his colleagues.
He said the situation is rather
unfortunate blaming the APC chairman, for
clearly failing to consult widely before
embarking on the mock election.
The APC chieftain said he is of the opinion
that if APC wants to rid itself of the mistakes
of PDP, it needed a chairman that would
shield himself from undue pressures no
matter where it emanated from.
He described the National Assembly election
as a good show of democracy adding
that Nigeria stood to be the overall
beneficiary.
Meanwhile the Senate president, Dr. Bukola
Saraki has started initiating peace moves
with the leadership of APC and his
colleagues, who are opposed to his victory.
