Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC), to be wary of the activities of the National Chairman of the
party, Adams Oshiomhole, saying the party chairman is capable of
destroying the APC.
According to a statement issued in Abuja and signed by the Secretary
General of the CNPP, Chief Willy Ezugwu, while reacting to the threat by
Mr. Oshiomhole that no person was to be sworn in as Bayelsa State
Governor despite a judgment delivered by the highest court in the
country, stated that “a person whose character is inconsistent, worsen
by obvious feelings of insecurity and impulsivity, will spell doom for
the APC.
“This can be explained by several impulsive decisions the APC National
Chairman have made, especially in order to save face in his obvious
attempt to act more confidently and in control than he really is.
“Nothing can harm the APC as a party more than this kind of leadership.
It is clear that the loss of Zamfara, Rivers and now Bayelsa state are
not too good testimonies of his leadership as it portrays the party as
lacking in internal democracy, which is not a good example to all other
political parties.
It is observable that Nigerians are gradually getting fed up with the
many political comedies ascribed to Adams Oshiomhole since he ascended
the leadership seat of APC and the party will pay dearly for it in the
nearest future if his unguarded utterances continues unbridled by the
elders of his party.
“We cannot forget his infamous call on corrupt politicians to join his
party for their “sins” to be forgiven. We seriously believe that Adams
Oshiomhole’s utterances have become a threat to Nigerian democracy and a
show of absolute disregard to due process and a tendency to incite the
people against democratic institutions and organs of government just to
have his way.
“As an organisation whose interest transcends party affiliations, we
urge President Muhammadu Buhari and relevant organs of his party to
restrain the APC national chairman before he does more incalculable
damage to the ruling party and our hard-earned democracy”, the CNPP
stated.
