Salihu Lukman, director-general of the Progressive Governors Forum, says the All Progressives Congress (APC) is collapsing with no leader in charge.

The APC has been embroiled in a leadership crisis following the appeal court judgment upholding the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as national chairman of the party.

While the party announced Abiola Ajimobi, former Oyo governor, as acting chairman, Victor Giadom, APC deputy national secretary, declared himself as national chairman on Wednesday.

But members of the national working committee (NWC) loyal to Ajimobi nominated Hilliard Eta, APC vice-chairman south-south, to act in the place of the former Oyo governor who is “unavoidably absent”.

In a statement on Thursday, Lukman said a national executive committee (NEC) meeting should be called over the party’s leadership crisis.

The director-general said the party needs an “organ transplant” by replacing members of the NWC who constitute a problem to the party.

“It is very clear we need an organ transplant by way of replacing the members of the current NWC who constitute the problem. That the All Progressives Congress (APC) is having a leadership crisis is no longer news,” he said.

“What is news now is that the party is collapsing with no leader in charge.

“Following the appeal court ruling sustaining the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the party, late on Monday, June 16, 2020, members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party started making disparate claims as to who is the acting national chairman.

“It is as if the party doesn’t have a constitution or those who operate the constitution are either ignorant of its provisions or have decided to set aside the constitution and just embark on a free for all fight. Yet, APC is the ruling party in Nigeria.”

Lukman said the party could not have people like President Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos, and still be in a crisis.

“How can a party so blessed with experienced and very skillful leaders such as Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Chief Bisi Akande, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, Chief Tony Momoh, etc. be incapable of resolving the problem of leadership vacancy,” he said.

“The combined moral authority of President Buhari and Asiwaju Tinubu should have involuntarily moderated the conduct of other leaders of the party, especially members of the NWC.

“Does the current APC leadership crisis therefore suggest declining moral authority of our two leaders? It is very easy to reach conclusions.”

“How can a party so blessed with experienced and very skillful leaders such as Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Chief Bisi Akande, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, Chief Tony Momoh, etc. be incapable of resolving the problem of leadership vacancy,” he said.

Operation: Second Eleven has already happened.

A group of un-elected bureaucrats, party officials and military men are running the show since the death of the defacto president, Abbe Kyari.

Osinbanjo is either in hiding or in custody.

As for Buhari, that one is not even aware of his surroundings as he has gone full blown autism.

The question to ask is why is the SW not demanding to hear and see of their last and only hope?

Has Tinubu been bribed with another twin set of bullion vans and a fake promissory presidency to keep things hush-hush over the power vacuum in Abuja? This is plausible as that one can sell his own head if the price is right.

Now is the time for the Ojota crowd, awon alutta people that said they were the ones that crowned GEJ as acting President to come out and do the same juju they did in 2009 for their own. Do this and we will know you are the real and only king makers.

Come to think of it, the lock-down in Ogun (the VP's state) and Lagos (his political base) was not necessary because these cowards will not riot or do sh!t.

Awon loud mouthed cowards.
