Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been lambasted by Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State.
Governor Willie Obiano and Chief John Odigie Oyegun
“This is a former governor who has no traceable achievement to his name as far as his tenure in Edo State is concerned. No one can recall any meaningful development recorded during Oyegun’s government in the state.”
“It was also during his era that a very low level of governance was introduced to that state, a clear departure from the pragmatic and result-oriented leadership style of the likes of Prof. Ambrose Ali and Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia, both of blessed memory.”
“It was during Oyegun’s tenure that the song of ‘no money’ for projects became the regular cry in governance circle in Edo State. He could not think outside the box.”
“Many Nigerians still remember that Oyegun also won the unenviable record of the governor during whose tenure Edo State recorded the lowest score in WASSCE. The records are there for all to see! So, what is a failed governor talking about when it comes to good governance?”
“Indeed, Oyegun has no moral right to speak on the issue of good governance in Anambra State or any part of the country. If what we practice is a democracy then the will and wish of the people should be respected.”
“Oyegun has mismanaged the APC as a ruling part. Many Nigerians also know how he emerged as the national chairman of the party. The way the former governor emerged was a clear case of political imposition which had left the party prostrate till date as we speak, the APC under his watch cannot hold meetings of its crucial organs. No wonder the APC is a house in disarray.”
“What this clearly shows is that Oyegun is a virus in the APC, as he has foisted his regime of lack of internal democracy on the party. No wonder the party is seriously bleeding today, suffering from constant defections, lack of direction, and crass incompetence.”
“The implication is that the party is heading for doom if Oyegun is not quickly removed. No wonder, a prime founder and leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his followers have since called for his removal.”
“It is this weak leadership style that he wants to import into Anambra State. After all, what is his business with Anambra when he has not been able to put his own house in order?”
“Oyegun’s declaration that his party would take over Anambra State was also an unfortunate exposure. It was also a signal that the APC was bent on forcefully overturning the will of the people.”
