The youth arm of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Progressives Youth Movement has said the National
Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole was more interested in fighting
personal battle than work for the reelection bid of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The youths claimed that
Oshiomhole was insincere about Buhari’s re-election. In a statement issued by
its Chairman, Usa Abdullahi, and Secretary, Udo Akpandem yesterday, the youth
stated that some of Oshiomhole’s actions undermined the electoral chances of
Buhari.
The statement reads: “We view
with concern the threat by Comrade Oshiomhole to report political parties,
other than the APC, who are adopting and campaigning for President Buhari ahead
of the 2019 elections.
“We had expected the National
Chairman to be happy that other political parties are adopting President Buhari
and campaigning for his re-election.
“It is illogical that a party
chairman would be unhappy that other parties are campaigning for his
presidential candidate.
“With his present stance, Comrade
Oshiomhole is demonstrating that fighting his personal war against some
perceived adversaries is more important to him than the successful election of
Buhari for a second term.
“We see a contrast in the stance
of Comrade Oshiomhole and the posture of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
which is encouraging members of other political parties through the platform of
Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) to adopt and campaign for its
presidential candidate.”
The group further called on the
National Executive Committee, NEC, of the APC to caution the former Edo State
Governor to order before the prosecution of his personal fights undermines the
chances of the party in the 2019 elections.
“The national chairman has been
allowed to run the party in his own fashion for too long without caution, and
this is already affecting the perception of the party by well-meaning members
of the public.
“We call on the NEC of the party
to convene and call Oshiomhole to order before he does irreparable damage to
the electoral fortunes of the party in 2019,” the statement added.
