A Good Governance Advocacy Group within the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Rivers Unity House (RUH), has endorsed calls for the resignation of APCβs National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
The RUHβs Convener, Kingsley Wali, announced the groupβs endorsement of such calls on Friday in Port Harcourt during an interactive session with journalists.
According to Wali, Oshiomhole is responsible for 96 per cent of the challenges faced by the party in the 2019 general elections.
βThere is need to identify the people who made it possible for the party to suffer any kind of loss.
βJust like if the party enjoys a decent measure of victory, it will obviously point out those who made it possible and then, compensate them for making it possible.
βI am one person who has been consistent with the position that Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is 96 per cent responsible for the problems APC had.
βIt boils down to nothing but somebody feeling that he knows everything and no other person is smarter than him.
βI think the reasonable thing to do is for APC as a party to ask Adams Oshiomole to vacate the seat.
βIf we insist on understanding or characterising the next level slogan of APC, the kind of attitude that Adams Oshiomhole exhibited cannot be in tandem with the Presidentβs vision on Nigeria.ββ
Its convener also said: βOf what is a party Chairman who does not take any form of criticism; once even if it is one councillor in Karadamuda or Akassa, that says something about him, he replies in the same measure.
βI want to applaud the Deputy National Chairman (North), Alhaji Lawan Shuaibu for what he said in the very elaborate letter he sent asking Oshiomole to vacate office.
βThat is a point that the man was running a one-man show. Like I said before, I worry because where we are heading for might not be too nice.
βLike Alhaji Shuaibu said, all it takes for the PDP to control the National Assembly is two seats or six or seven stubborn APC senators.
Wali pointed out that in other political climes, once you lead a party and the party failed to do well on an election, you have to go.
βLet us not demean ourselves with the fact that we won the Presidency. What about the governorship seats?
βDid we gain more senatorial seat now that we did in 2015? No. So if you look at it properly, APC lost in this last election.
βWe are just lucky that the profile of the President got us to where we are today that we control the Presidency,ββ he said
