The National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has made it clear that it is not his style to organize protest against those who attack him, much more the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“God forbid, anybody who knows me knows that that is not my style. I am equally shocked and I’m going to look into it and find out why and who is behind it.”
Odigie-Oyegun who spoke to news men in Abuja, dismissed insinuations that he instigated the protest and expressed displeasure over the reported protest against Tinubu. This was even as he promised to investigate the incident with a view to finding out those behind it.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the All Progressives Congress Youths Democratic Frontiers (APCYDF) in Abuja, protested at the National Headquarters of APC against Tinubu’s demand for Odigie-Oyegun’s resignation.
Tinubu had, on September 25, accused the APC national chairman of wrongdoing in the gubernatorial primary election of the party for forthcoming governorship poll in Ondo state.
But the protesting youths accused Tinubu of high-handedness, saying that he was behaving like an “emperor” in the party.
The APCYDF National Coordinator, Salahudeen Lukman, who led the protest, accused Tinubu of undermining President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption fight.
“It should be stated categorically that we are no longer comfortable with the whims and caprices of Tinubu.” [myad]
