The National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has spoken on the
activities of the New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, a group within the ruling
party.
Oyegun said members of the nPDP
are only looking for a good bargain themselves, adding that they (nPDP) cannot
choose this time to dump the other political parties.
He said that the President of the
Senate, Bukola Saraki, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara
and others were only acting like people who want the best for themselves.
Oyegun ruled out any possibility of the group decamping to other parties.
Oyegun told reporters, “The
process is still ongoing, and until we reach an understanding with them, it
won’t be right to comment, but I think we have tended to read too much that is
negative into their act.
“I just have a feeling that like
all people who want the best terms for themselves, they will come out at a
period which they feel is advantageous to them.
“Given the state of the polity, I
suppose they chose this time not because they want to leave the APC; not
because they were fed up with the APC, not because they want to cause trouble
with the APC, but because they want a good deal for themselves given the
totality of what is going on in the party.
“So, we have accepted their protest in good
faith, and we are sitting down with them to work out something that will be
mutually beneficial to both interests.”
