Former National Chairman of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), John Oyegun, on Thursday spoke on the crisis
rocking his party in Edo, describing it as “tragic and unfortunate”.
NAN reports that Oyegun, who was
first Executive Governor of Edo, spoke with newsmen on the sideline of the 22nd
investiture of the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM) in Lagos.
Oyegun said that the rift between
Gov. Godwin Obaseki and APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomole, brought to fore
the dangers of godfatherism in the nation’s politics.
“When principles are involved in
an argument, it is very hard to wade in, especially expecting that one party
surrenders principle to another.
“It is a good thing to mentor
somebody, to have an elder, more experienced to help bring up the younger one.
“But when you have mentored him,
and he has attained maturity and growth, do not keep treating him like a
child,” Oyegun said.
He, however, revealed that
efforts were ongoing to address the matter and bring peace to the party’s
affairs of the state.
Oyegun lauded the performance of
the state governor and reiterated his support for the great stride the state
was recording.
