The fate of the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC),Chief Odigie Oyegun is hanging on the balance following the National Executive Council meeting of the party that is coming up tomorrow in Abuja. To this end, two power blocs have emerged to determine the fate of the embattled national chairman. Who is currently running from one APC state to another lobbying to be saved .

The first is the anti-Oyegun bloc which is being spearheaded by the National Leader of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and former governor of Osun State Chief Bisi Akande. The Senate president, Bukola Saraki is said to be working underground for this group which also has the sympathy of a good number of the APC governors.

The other one is the pro- Oyegun bloc which has the backing of President Muhammadu Buhari and a few of the APC governors. Prince Buraimoh Ojora, one of the leaders of the All Progressive Congress in Lagos who spoke with irukkanews said that the NEC meeting would go a very long way in determining how the party would approach the 2019 general election. According to him, at the moment, there is a deep division in the party because of the way the National Chairman has been piloting the affairs of the party.

He said rather than unifying the party, Oyegun has been using divide and rule to rule the party and at the same time playing one leader against the other to curry favour. According to him, Asiwaju single handedly made Oyegun the national chairman of the party, but he turned against him and began to stab him at the back.


On how Tinubu and Atiku who have not been in the best of terms came together on this cause, he said politics is all about interest. According to him, most of the leaders of the party are not happy with the way Oyegun is running the party and as such there is nothing strange if they come together to rescue the party

"Recently, the Senate president, Bukola Saraki said that no body in APC is happy, that is very correct. Oyegun is doing more harm than good in the party. The image of the party is going down on a daily basis and Oyegun has no answer to it. For us to move forward, we need to remove and put a vibrant person as a national chairman, if not we would be doomed. Oyegun has ran out of ideas, what he is doing now is playing one leader against another and stabbing leaders of the party at the back just to curry favour. This is no way to run a political party.”
