The North-East Youth Wing of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has asked the leadership of the party to remove the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole before what they described as’ his crass and ghetto mentality’ ruins the party.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the Secretary of the organization, Abubakar Maigari, the youths described the threat by Oshiomhole and Bola Tinubu, a National Leader of the party to send away members of the National Assembly who oppose the party’s imposition of leadership agenda as appalling.
They further alleged that the leadership style of the duo created the confusion which led to the eventual loss of some states and elective positions to the opposition during the 2019 elections.
“Several members of the ruling party have been lost to the opposition since Oshiomhole became APC National Chairman on June 23, 2018, yet the looming 9th National Assembly leadership election crisis may threaten the corporate existence of the ruling party.
“Oshiomhole is now akin to a bull in a China warehouse that has to be guided and shown out quickly otherwise, in less than a year from now APC shall be confined to the dustbin of history.
“Barely a month after Oshiomhole assumed the APC National chairmanship, 15 senators and 37 House of Representatives members decamped, mostly to the PDP on Tuesday July 24, 2018 just as Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara followed suit later.
“Oshiomhole may wish to say it was not his making but politics is about making creative interventions by muddling through and not reaching out with unguided statements drawn from crass and ghetto mentality.
“Apart from the lawmakers, governors of Benue, Sokoto and Kwara states announced their defections also from the APC to PDP under his watch.
“Through Oshiomhole’s pronouncements and actions, Zamfara and Imo governorship crises were fomented. At the end of the day, APC lost governorship seats in Bauchi, Adamawa, Imo, Oyo, Benue, Sokoto and with court decisions, also in Zamfara and Osun states.
“Senator Ndume and Senator Omo-Agege were separately suspended for 90 legislative days in the defence of APC and Buhari’s administration policy yet Oshiomhole wants those who have been hand in gloves and partnering with senate leadership to sabotage Buhari’s government to be rewarded,” the statement read in part.
