National chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie Oyegun has said that he will not respond to
the allegations levelled against him by the national leader of the party,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as regards the governorship primaries of the party in Ondo
State until after the governorship election in Edo State.
It
would be recalled that Tinubu in a statement published in national
dailies called for the immediate resignation of Oyegun and also accused
him of being a “fraud and a regressive element who cares nothing for the
progressive ideas upon which the party was founded and is hell-bent on guiding
it into the ditch.”
Oyegun
who spoke yesterday in Benin City, said, “Asiwaju is a well respected leader of
our party so I cannot be seen speaking evil against him. I have to consult
properly with other leaders of the party before we make any definite statement.
Again, you know we have a crucial election here in Edo which is my priority
right now.
“We don’t want to lose focus and I know Asiwaju also want us
to win because we all have worked hard for this. So may be after the election
if there is need I will speak, if no need I will relax. But all I can say now
is that most of the things said in the papers about me are not true. I have
always believed in internal democracy, that the credibility of primaries must
be taken seriously.
-Leadership
