Prince Tony Momoh, a former Minister of Information on Monday said the impression that the title of National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is reserved only for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state is not true.

Speaking in an interview with Daily Independent, Momoh, a former National Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) said the APC has five national leaders which include President Muhammadu Buhari, Tinubu, Chief Bisi Akande, Prince Tony Momoh and Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu.
He however added that Tinubu’s contributions to the emergence of the APC qualifies him in all aspects to be referred to as a national leader of the party.
“Who says the title of national leader is reserved for Tinubu alone? They call him national leader and they call others national leaders too. You can say Tinubu is a national leader of APC just like Tony Momoh and Ogbonnaya Onu are also national leaders of APC” .

“But the fact is, if you call him National Leader of APC, he merits it because if not for the coming of the ACN from the South-West into the alliance, Buhari from CPC wouldn’t have had the number in the area of spread to become the President”

“Five people are always referred to as the national leaders of the party nationally until other people started joining. Buhari, the leader of CPC; Tony Momoh, national chairman of CPC; Tinubu, the leader of ACN; Bisi Akande, national chairman of ACN and of course, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, who was the national chairman and leader of ANPP”.

“That is why they refer to three members of APC, Onu, Momoh and Akande as legacy chairmen of APC. There is no way you can deny Tinubu’s role in the APC because he made a promise which he kept, to lead the battle for the emergence of Buhari as President” he said.

Who would believe that Ogbonnaya Onu was the brain behind the idea of merging these parties to form a mega opposition party. But see how he has been so relegated to the background

LaboPolitics:
Dr Ogbonnaya Onu. Spotless politician with out scandals. Quiet and melancholic in nature but very discerning. Cerebral intellectual to the core, not like the other one with 'Toronto and oluwole' certificate.

The Aka Ikenga and SE and SS causus in APC should urge him to contest. He has cross-regional acceptability. A very much loved man.

Jagaban to the universe... Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President the people want, but don't want to admit they want him, that's why they won't stop mentioning his name. If he hasn't comment on a National issue, such issue remains unresolved, regardless who has spoken or acted on it.

Tinubu is a good man, in his own right Like MKO, the Yorubas, will soon kill him. I pray he understands and save his head.
You overhype him Can you image, that Ogbonnaya Onu was part of the team from ANPP, that formed APC. Who has ever heard about him?
Have you forgotten, that Okorocha of APGA, was also part of the team, who has ever heard about them?

Lol... small pikin without any knowledge, for your information, Ogbonaya may go straight to jail when he leaves Science and Technology, due to the way the criminal is stealing money in Ministry using a Director who retired last Friday and another Director who heads a Department known as Bio-Resources Technology, and some Agencies such as FIIRO, NABDA, ECN & RMRDC...

So because one Tony Momoh tries hard to be heard by mentioning himself and Asiwaju Jagaban in the same sentence, you're here wanting to equal sleep with death! To start with, I hope you were not a baby in 2011-2014 when the formation of APC was being negotiated? Action Congress of Nigeria, (ACN) spareheaded the negotiation with 5 seating Governors, 11 Governor's who served between 1999 and 2011, several Serving and former Senators, and House of Representative Members alongside Asiwaju. What did you then very broke Ogbonaya Any brought to the table? Not even Buhari could come close to Asiwaju in the formation of the party. You're here comparing a certain outcaste Rochas Okorocha to Asiwaju Jagaban....
