APC Crisis: Tinubu’s Claims Baseless, Reckless – Oyegun by DonOrpzy: 6:30pm On Oct 07, 2016 |
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Chief John Oyegun has said claims by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
that he rigged the Ondo APC governorship primaries in
favour of an aspirant was “baseless and reckless”.
Oyegun said this in a statement on Friday, stating that it was
an insult to allege that the national working committee
(NWC) members rigged the primaries.
Oyegun had earlier said he wouldn’t join issues with Tinubu,
regarding to him as our leader, but had released this
statement less than 72 hours after meeting President
Muhammadu Buhari.
“The media office of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in its
statement alleged that I overruled the NWC’s vote of ‘six
against five’ in favour of cancelling the primary election
results and conducting another primary.
“According to the minutes of the 18th emergency meeting of
the APC NWC held from Monday 19th September 2016 to
Thursday 22nd September, 2016 at the party’s national
secretariat in Abuja, there was absolutely no meeting which
I chaired that voted in the manner alleged.
“Clearly, the report on which the media office of Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu acted was a figment of someone’s wild
imagination.

“On Thursday 22nd September, 2016 being the final day for
submission of candidate by political parties, the NWC
discussed the possibility of voting having finished
deliberation on the 2016 Ondo state APC governorship
primary election appeal committee report because
members in support of cancelling the primary results were
still strident in their position.
“A member of the NWC however drew the attention of the
meeting to its previous decision in which the report of the
primary election committee was adopted while the appeal
committee was set aside,” he said in the statement.
