Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), the
Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) has
described Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, national chairman of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) as a failure.
Sagay stated that Oyegun’s tenure
has brought nothing other than disaster for the party, adding that his
reinstatement will be suicidal.
Speaking with the Independent,
Sagay also blamed Oyegun for turning Senate president, Bukola Saraki and Yakubu
Dogara into ‘monsters’.
He added that the emergence of
Bukola Saraki as Senate President and Yakubu Dogara as Speaker of the House of
Representatives against the party’s directives was supposed to attract
punishments to them. Yet Oyegun did not only tolerated them, he was also
hobnobbing with them.
Sagay said, “Oyegun has been a
terrible failure as national chairman of the party. He has not shown the
resolve and strength of purpose to direct the party properly and rid it of
moles and enemies.
“When a person, against the party
primary goes to contest as Senate president and another one contrary to the
party’s primary contests as Speaker of the House of Representatives, that is
gross indiscipline and people like that should be punished and the punishment
is suspension and possibly, expulsion from the party.
“That did not happen under
Oyegun. Rather, he was cuddling, befriending and appeasing them, thereby
allowing them to become monsters. The result now is that the National Assembly
is the official opposition of this government; all that is created by Oyegun’s
appeasement. So, his tenure has really been a disaster for the party.
“I supported the rejection of the
one year extension not because I didn’t like Oyegun but because if the tenure
elongation had been allowed to stand, the PDP would have had an apian way,
expressway to the presidency and the other offices because all the nominations
of the APC would have been held illegal and invalid because the people who
organised it themselves are not entitled to be there.
“People who are occupying illegal
offices could only produce illegal nominees. So, the president saved the party
from catastrophe by rejecting the tenure extension.”
