South-South leaders on Thursday hailed
the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun.
This
commendation came after Bola Tinubu, national leader
of the party accused him of sabotage.
A statement by the Chairman of South- South Front (SSF), Chief John Harry
commended Oyegun for giving worthy account of himself, advancing the interests
of party members, resisting forces which are inconsistent with democratic
principles and inculcating in APC supporters a sense of oneness.
The
statement reads, “Chief John Odigie-Oyegun is very democratic in his way of
life. He is working hard to entrench internal democracy, the rule of law and
respect for human dignity in the ruling party.
“Men
and women without appreciation for the contribution of Oyegun to the growth of
the ruling party are content to criticize this honest politician without deep
thought about his leadership style.
“The
anti-Oyegun protesters blundered when they decided to describe the national
chairman as a big threat to Buhari’s second term agenda.
“Most of Oyegun’s critics are poorly informed about the system of party
government in Nigeria.
“Let
Oyegun be judged fairly. APC is better organized than the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Labour Party (LP) and
others.
“Even
acknowledged authorities in the field of politics and government recognize the
efforts of Odigie-Oyegun in the unity and progress of the ruling party.
“In
any political society, there must be conflict of views and clash of opinions on
a large range of issues. APC is a key to the solution of the Nigerian problem.
“The APC policy is the best suited for the political advancement of Nigeria.
Chief Odigie-Oyegun is working vigorously for the success of the ruling party.”
“The
eyes of the world are on APC. Let us not quake or doubt about APC winning the
2019 general elections,” the leaders added.
