National publicity secretary of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bolaji Abdullahi says the National Working
Committee is “not miffed” by those calling for the removal of its National
Chairman, John Oyegun.
He was reacting to a protest near
the secretariat in Abuja last Friday by some party members.
The protesters, who dropped a
petition at the national office, said they want action taken ahead of the
meetings of the national caucus and the National Executive Committee fixed for
the 26 and 27 February 2018.
Leader of the group, Ishola
Adeshina alleged that Oyegun had been running the accounts of the party without
a recourse to majority of national officers of the party
Reacting, Abdullahi noted that
it was within the right of the petitioners to demand for accountability on the
finances of the party.
He, however, stated that they
were wrong to have engaged in street protests.
“I haven’t seen the petition. But
if they are asking for a probe of the national working committee, I don’t have
any objection. But there is a laid down procedure in the party for demanding
for accountability, not street shows”, he told Tribune.
‘’Whoever has grievances should
bring it to the National Executive Committee; don’t forget that the national
working committee is subordinate to NEC.
“There is a NEC meeting slated
for 27th of this month, let them bring it (the petition) to NEC and it will be
discussed, accordingly—not by precipitating violence,” he added.
