- The party
was plunged into a deep crisis after it held its recently concluded
controversial primaries A source close to the Presidential Villa has reportedly
claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari is embarrassed and worried by the
ongoing crisis in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and has ordered party's
national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole to fix it. The source, according to a
report by Vanguard, claimed that the president instructed the national chairman
to ensure that all the controversies surrounding the governorship and state
assemblies’ primary elections “must be resolved this week.”
The source
said: “The president appears to be embarrassed and concerned by the continued
controversy, which keeps mounting by the day. "Even the latest
embarrassment came on Sunday with the reported exit from the party of one of
the President’s staunch loyalists, Senator Shehu Sani. “You have the vexed
issue of Zamfara and Adamawa. Then you have the spectacle in Ogun state. Yes,
the national chairman is insisting on doing what he claims to be the right
thing, but in some of the cases in question, even the president is not too
comfortable with the handling of the matter because some of the governors have
made a very strong case on the impropriety of some of the decisions.
“The
president has told him to clear the mess this week because the distraction the
controversy continues to ignite does not bode well for the polity, presidency,
the party and even the well-being of members." Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier
reported that Oshiohmole, on Monday, October 22, dismissed as untrue the
reported gang-up by APC governors against his leadership of the party.
Oshiomhole had on Sunday in a statement by his press secretary, Simon
Ebegbulem, alleged that conservatives within the party are ganging up to pass a
vote of no-confidence in him. Read more: https://www.legit.ng/1199711-fix-mess-buhari-orders-oshiomhole-apc-crisis-deepens.html
