•Why APC’s NWC upturned Appeal Committee’s report and upheld Governorship Primary Committee report

In Odigie-Oyegun’s domicile

IT was on a cool evening that I met with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, at his Abuja residence, last weekend. It was certainly not my first meeting with him, as I knew Odigie-Oyegun since 1991 when he emerged as the first civilian governor of Edo state.

Though, his tenure was short-lived, as a military junta, led by former Head of State; the late General Sani Abacha sacked the then civilian government, vulgarly aborting the Third Republic. We were to meet again during the days of South-South Peoples Assembly, SSPC, which he was the national chairman, but had cause to quit the exalted position on principle.

I questioned him then, he replied that he would not be party to a South-South group where some people would want to box everybody into a particular party. (He meant PDP) without which you would not be regarded. He was one of the few South-South leaders, who felt that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his party, PDP were not performing and he had no reason to support the party.

One of his associates recalled to this reporter that after the annulment of the June 12, 1993 Presidential Election, presumably won by the late Chief Moshood Abiola, some top brass of the military wanted to get the defunct SDP to cooperate with the Abacha government and had permeated the party. The national leadership of the party convened a meeting in Benin City, the capital of his state, to discuss the way forward.

“While some of the leaders were favorably disposed to abandoning the Abiola mandate, Odigie-Oyegun delivered a powerful message, reminding the party leaders of a Benin adage, which says: “It is better to show a child where his father died defending his honour than that path he took fleeing into the bush.

‘It was his potent submission and that of a few others that led to the formation of the National Democratic Coalition, NADECO. Besides being governors on the platform of the defunct SDP, his membership of NADECO with the National Leader of APC, Alhaji Bola Tinubu, many took them as birds of the same plumage until the outburst, last month, by the latter, calling for his resignation, accusing him of treachery in the Governorship Primary of APC in Ondo state,” he said.

This reporter had called Odigie-Oyegun on phone penultimate week from his base in Delta state on the raging feud between him and Tinubu, but said he would not want to speak on the issue until he met with President Muhammadu Buhari.

By the time I got to Abuja, last week, for separate engagements with some Niger Delta leaders in Abuja, he had already met with President Buhari and issued a statement that read something like: “Tinubu cannot sack me on the pages of newspapers,” which was the headline in some newspapers.
