Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress , Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has stressed the need for the National Executive Committee of the party to meet and constitute a Caretaker Committee.
Oyegun’s call for a special national convention is coming as leadership crisis facing the party deepened, following the suspension of the national chairman, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, by the court. But a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, on Friday restrained Giadom from parading himself as the Acting national chairman and a member of the NWC of APC.
Oyegun noted that this unprecedented democratic achievement had since inspired progressive forces all over Africa and had become a standard by which democracy is measured in the rest of the continent. “As former National Chairman of the party, I remain proud of the great strides of our government, under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. However, I am afraid to note that the legacy of a government is defined mostly by its politics rather than its achievements in other areas, no matter how lofty those achievements are. Our recent history bears enough testimony to this reality.
However, Oyegun stressed that he had realised that those who feel more entitled to the party were no longer capable of hearing alternative viewpoints other than those counseled by their ego and their self-serving interests, which they had promoted over all other considerations, including that of common decency.
