APC governors sends message to Oyegun after ending his tenure

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee has ended.

Daily Trust reports that the party however said Oyegun can still seek re-election as chairman of the party.

This resolution was reached after governors on the platform of the party met with President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, April 4.

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state who is the chairman of the APC governors’ forum said Oyegun can still recontest at theparty’s convention if he wishes.

He said:"Let me correct one impression, the issue of congress and convention does not mean that the previous people who have served the party have done badly.

And it does not mean that they cannot come back or that they cannot re-contest, that is not it."We are simply saying that their tenure has ended and those who wish to re-contest canre-contest and can be elected into our party structure.

So, we are all one as family and we are set to go for 2019 elections in victory."Let me just want to let you know that there is no crisis in the APC at all. And we want to use this opportunity to advise the media operatives to stop spreading rumors of crisis in APC. There is no single crisis in APC.

“The issue was one of people who believe that we did not have enough time to organize a party congress and run election.Some people felt that it was a good idea, but the most important thing is that if we do that, we will be contravening both our party constitution and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. That is the major issue that we have that they call crisis. We do not have crisis.

"This (Wednesday) morning, we met with Mr. President to fine-tune issues, one regarding the congress and we have resolved that the congresses at all levels and the chairman of the elongation committee, is also fine-tuning the arrangement in the same line. To this effect,the convention committee will be set out, it will be announced."
