- Group of youths protest at the National Secretariat of the APC
- 17 governors allegedly plot the removal of the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun
A group of youths under the aegis of Save APC And Democracy Youth Vanguard, have demanded for the immediate resignation of the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
The youths made the demand on Monday, October 30, when protesting at the National Secretariat of the ruling party in Abuja.
Chief John Oyegun has been under fire from party members who had accused him of failing in his duties to direct the party.
NAIJ.com had reported that 17 governors allegedly plotted the removal of the party’s national chairman.
The governors are reportedly upset that the party chairman has been running its affairs with only seven of their colleagues; and may pass a vote of no confidence on Oyegun at the APC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting coming up on October 31.
NAIJ.com gathers that a former governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomole, has been fingered by Oyegun’s supporters as the man behind the plot to remove Oyegun.
Oyegun’s supporters claim that ahead of the NEC meeting, Oshiomole’s men have been lobbying party chiefs to install the former governor in the event that Oyegun is indeed pushed aside.
To buttress their point further, the aggrieved governors are said to have gone as far as reaching out to President Muhammadu Buhari.
