The Acting National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena says some governors in the country are threatening and sponsoring daily protests against the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
Speaking with journalist in Abuja over the weekend, Nabena maintained that the governors in question were bent on imposing their wil on the people rather than abiding by the dictates of the constitution of the APC.
His words: “The problem in APC is also because the party chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has insisted that he will not tolerate any form of impunity from any party member again, irrespective of their positions.
“He doesn’t want to rely on state governors for funds to run the party and that is why we got money from the sale of forms during the primaries. The era where governors will gather and impose their will on the party is gone.
“This time, Oshiomhole has entrenched party supremacy and that is why the governors are complaining. An outgoing governor wants to bring a successor and at the same time wants to be a senator but people said they don’t want to vote for his candidate.
“It becomes a problem. Some of them are even threatening the party chairman. These governors shouldn’t think they have the right to appoint successors as if they are appointing personal aides.
“Let the people decide who will lead them in their states. Look at what the Niger State governor is doing; sending people to Abuja to come and protest. Is that how a governor should behave?
“This is the first time things are done the right way they should be done, not the way the governors wanted it. The governors are the ones sponsoring all these protests because the party is not doing their bidding.”
