John Oyegun, national chairman of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), says the outcome of the meeting of the
party’s national caucus had shamed the prophets of doom who predicted his
removal from office.
He said this when he briefed
state house correspondents after the APC national caucus meeting which was
presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja,
on Monday night.
Describing the outcome of the
meeting as “beautiful and pleasant”, Oyegun accused the media of manufacturing
and exaggerating issues within the party.
“In fact, I want to ask the media
where did they dig them out (of) because we just had a pleasant meeting and all
what I have been reading in the media none of it (happened), all the prophecies
of doom none of it even came near for mention,’’ he said.
Oyegun also dismissed the
assertion that the caucus discussed his exit date as party chairman, describing
it as mere media speculation.
He said: “It is the media we
should ask where do they get those stories from, where do you get them? Nothing
like that ever happened; nothing like that was ever discussed; nothing like
that came up – beautiful, pleasant, intellectual, deep reasoning today about
issues.’’
He announced that the APC
convention would be coming up in June.
The party announced the extension
of the tenure of the national working committee led by Oyegun at the end of its
national executive council (NEC) meeting on Tuesday.
