Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), says he cannot lose sleep
over the breakaway faction of the ruling party.
Describing members of the new
faction as hired mercenaries, Oshiomhole said he had been engaging “real
stakeholders” of the party as part of measures of resolving the crisis in APC.
He disclosed this while
addressing journalists at the national assembly after a marathon meeting with
the APC caucus in the house of representatives.
“There is no breakup in our
party, if one Galadima is not happy, that is fine. He has a right no to be
happy,” he said.
“If he chooses to call himself
whatever he wants to call himself, that
is not the issue. I will not lose my sleep over that. We know those who are in
the system. Those who are seeking
breakup that is their problem. We are engaging real stakeholders. I mean
between the executive and the two arms of the national assembly.
“We have very important
influential leaders we are engaging. If people are being sponsored by those who
thought our convention will be a failure, those who were expecting implosion,
so be it. If you reviewed the headlines before the convention, there were
stories like people are going to walk out of the convention; people will
boycott the convention.
“In the end, they were shocked to
find out the president was seated, the senate president was seated, the speaker
was seated and the national leaders were seated. Our chairman was seated. All the governors
were seated. They were like what do we do next? If after two weeks of living in
pains that they are disappointed, they
find mercenaries who are willing to be hired for a purpose, they have right to
be hired but will not cause any distraction within the core of APC leaders.”
He ruled out the fear that the
splinter group would affect the chances of the party in the 2019 elections.
