Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has alerted of subtle moves by some faceless individuals to pitch him against the current national chairman of the party Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
Chief Oyegun said in a statement made available to The Nation in Abuja that since leaving office granted any media interview now has he said Oshiomhole was bringing more problem to the party.
He said everyone who loves the APC should be doing every possible to support the efforts of the national chairman and the President to bring peace to the party.
Chief Oyegun was quoted by social media reports to have said “When I was called up to handover to Adams Oshiomhole, I pleaded with the leaders of the party to look for someone else even if they don’t want me again. Nobody listened to me. I handed over to him a party fully intact and healthy. Under 4 weeks, Oshiomhole has used his mouth to destroy APC. Who do you blame?
The statement signed by his Chief of Staff, Edwin Ikhinmwin said “Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has not issued any press statement or spoken to the press on the concocted statement credited to him.
“We view this as part of the fake news being disseminated to magnify the ongoing challenges facing the Party and create new fissures between the former National Chairman and the incumbent, H.E. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to frustrate ongoing reconciliation efforts within our Party. The former APC National Chairman fully supports all efforts to reconcile and unify the party.
“Chief John Odigie-Oyegun uses this opportunity to call on all Party leaders, members and supporters to embrace the ongoing peace talks led by President Muhammadu Buhari and the Party’s National Chairman to restore stability within the Party, so that we can position our Party as a unified and strong political fighting force going into the forthcoming General Elections in 2019”
