Oshiomhole’s Agbero style of leading APC has destroyed APC – Oyegun

The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie Oyegun has insinuated that the reasons for the current desaray in the APC is as result of the lack of capacity by the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to lead a political party.

In a statement issued by Oyegun’s Public Affairs Adviser, Chief Ray Morphy, Oshiomhole was said to be degrading and demarketing the party, rather than unify and bring more people on board, he is chasing people out of the party with his agbero style of engagement. The former governor also berated Oshiomhole for running APC down with unguarded utterances and taking unilateral decisions without any form of consultation with the national working committee (NWC) members and other party stakeholders.

The full statement reads, “that statement of Booby Traps is ludicrous and infantile , an attempt to drum up justification for the failings of the party under Oshiomhole Chairmanship. Oshiomhole failed because he lacks the temperament that is required to run a political part. He lacks the capacity to manage the different interests and tendencies that constitute a political party. He engages his mouth before engaging his mind, so he offends party members. So, how does that constitute booby traps by Oyegun, the erstwhile chairman, already, the Deputy National Chairman, North has confirmed that Oshiomhole runs the party with recourse to the NWC. He acts in direct opposite of decisions taken by NWC. No minutes of NWC meetings which in any event take place outside the party Secretariat. How would you not have crisis in states with the confusion that Oshiomhole created when he gave the states freedom to choose their methods of choosing candidates for elections. Much of the crisis in states arose out of sheer incapacity on the part of the current chairman. How has this Oshiomhole incapacity become booby traps by Oyegun? Many party men were aghast at the unfairness and injustice meted them during the primaries process. Only a bad carpenter quarrels with his tools. Indeed Oshiomhole is degrading and demarketing the party, rather than seek to bring more people on board, he is rather chasing people out of the party with his agbero style of engagement.”
