OYEGUN’S HEAD
According to a new report in The Nation Newspaper, 17 out of 24 Governors on the Platform of the governing All Progressives Congress are calling for the head of their National Chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun. They alleged among others that the National Chairman is not running the affairs of the party effectively. I am compelled to agree with the disenchanted governors because Oyegun has shown absence or lack of political tact and diplomacy in leading the APC as a party in government.
The political ‘sins’ legion: Oyegun’s handling of the (s)election of leadership of the National Assembly and its aftermath nearly destroyed the soul of the coalition. The El-Rufai vs Shehu Sani titanic struggle for the soul of APC followed and still unresolved till date making Kaduna a politically volatile. Oyegun displaying blind loyalty to the Abuja Cabal allowed the mishandling of the APC Governorship Primaries in Ondo leading to a renewed mistrust among major players of the Coalition APC. The APC in Kano State cannot go into an election united because of the raging political war between Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State and his predecessor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, a grassroots politician. Today, the Presidency is engaged in a war with former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu because of 2019 Presidential race. Both men are staunch members and financiers of the party at the national level.
The Oyegun ‘sins’ coupled with his inability or lack of interest to convince the presidency on the need to appoint party members into vacant Boards and Parastatals after two years into the life of the administration is worrisome. While the President is politically unconscious, his team has been carried away by the fragrance of power and cannot read the mood of party members. Fortunately, majority of the APC Governors have felt Oyegun’s pinch and called the attention of the presidency to act or forget about the soul of the party ahead of an interesting general election come 2019!

If them like let them request for his tail 2019 no far again
