Chapters of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo, Osun, Akwa Ibom, Katsina, Osun, Enugu and Abia states have kicked against the call by the APC Deputy National Chairman, Lawal Shuaibu, for the resignation of the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
Shuaibu had, in a letter dated May 27, called for the resignation of Oshiomhole, claiming that the former Edo State governor lacked the composure to lead the APC.
According to him, the APC under Oshiomhole had become badly fractured in virtually every constituency in the country and was fast losing the goodwill it enjoyed before Oshiomhole’s emergence.
Reacting through its publicity secretary, Dr Abdulazeez Olatunde, the APC in Oyo State, said the chapter still had confidence in Oshiomhole.
He stated, “The deputy national chairman has gone beyond his brief because he has the party mechanism to channel his misgivings about how the party is run. The party’s constitution does not give room for just any officer of the party to make its internal affairs public at the drop of a pin.
“Mr Shuaibu needs to learn how to be a team player. There are mid-term conventions where the suitability of X, Y, Z continuation in offices are holistically appraised. If Mr Shuaibu is desirous of the national chairmanship, he should wait till then.”
