The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has denied that 17 state governors are plotting to remove its
national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
National Publicity Secretary of
the ruling party, Bolaji Abdullahi, told journalists in Abuja on Wednesday,
that nobody has expressed displeasure over Oyegun’s regime.
“When you talk of 17 Governors
planning to impeach our national chairman, it is just a newspaper report people
are reacting to. We have come out to dismiss such report telling Nigerians that
we are not aware of the 17 governors referred to.
“We made it clear that there
would not have been anything like that because they would have expressed such
displeasure whether against the party or chairman in particular during the
series of meetings we have had with them.
“I was opportuned to attend all
the meetings and there has never been any time any of them stood up to say that
they are not happy with him,” he said.
The Governors are reportedly
angry, that Oyegun has been running the party with only seven of their colleagues.
They are expected to table their
grievances at the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting and pass a
vote of no confidence in him.
