Bayelsa Apc Crisis Deepens , Chairman Accused Of Autocratic Rule. by PhockPhockMan: 12:33pm On Aug 08, 2014 |
The crisis rocking the Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) deepened on Thursday, as some aggrieved members of the party descended heavily on its chairman, Tiwei Orunimighe. The angry members, under the aegis of Third Force, accused the party chair of being highhanded, autocratic, disrespectful and divisive. They also accused Orunimighe of squandering N7.2 million given for the inauguration of State Executive Council (SEC) without the approval of the executive committee members. The Third Force, led by Michael Oyanimighan, which has sympathy to Senatorial Vice-Chairman-elect for Bayelsa Central, Joseph Fafi, said Orunimighe’s leadership was creating division in the party. “Tiwei Orunimighe is highhanded, autocratic and disrespectful. His actions have succeeded in dividing the APC family in Bayelsa State. “Also, the APC state chairman vehemently refused to swear in the party’s senatorial vice- chairman-elect for Bayelsa Central, Mr. Joseph Fafi. In his stead, one Falla was sworn in. This action is against the provisions of APC Constitution. “Article 21 (11) of the constitution specifically states that anybody that tampers with delegate list, election result, nomination of party officers will be expelled and prosecuted.” They also accused Orunimighe of shutting down the state’s secretariat, saying the action was taken without recourse to staff and party members. “It is curious that Orunimighe locked up and took the keys of the state secretariat. Also, the N7.2 million brought for inauguration of state executive council was spent without the approval of the Exco,” they alleged. The angry party members also carpeted the leader of the party and former Governor Timipre Sylva, saying he had had been leading the party from outside, using his cronies to cause confusion. But Orunimighe fired back at his critics, describing them as ingrates and black legs of the APC. “Apart from former Governor Timipre Sylva that has given us money, I spent my own money for so many things. Where is the highhandedness coming from? All things done in that party are done according to national directives.” http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/08/bayelsa-apc-crisis-deepens-chairman-accused-autocratic-rule/ |
