Senate crisis : Oyegun’ s fate shaky as APC caucus meets June 29 , 2015 Written by Bello Imam Akande laments effect of disagreement on party ’ s unity Chief John Odigie - Oyegun ’ s political future is hanging in the balance . TheAll Progressives Congress ( APC ) chairman should step down , some forces within the party are pushing, ahead of tomorrow ’ s meeting of the National Caucus Committee . Odigie - Oyegun’ s offence , sources said at the weekend , is his perceived failure to nip in the bud the National Assembly crisis that has shaken the party so much . Most of the APC governors, some members of the National Working Committee ( NWC ) and party elders are unhappy that Odigie - Oyegun allowed the “ crisis to fester ” . They alleged that his “slow pace ” attitude emboldened Senate President Bukola Saraki and House Speaker Yakubu Dogara to “negotiate ” with Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) members . The delay in sending the list of APC nominees for principal offices in the Senate and the House of Representatives has fuelled the anger against Odigie - Oyegun. Party leaders are divided on whether to retain Odigie - Oyegun or dump him . A source , who briefed some reporters in Abuja on the situation in the party and the backlash of the crisis in the National Assembly , said there was apprehension in APC that if the chairman remained in office , it might collapse . The source cited two instances where Odigie - Oyegun failed to be “ decisive ” on the choice of principal officers in the National Assembly . The source alleged that the chairman was virtually forced to hold the mock elections that elected Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon . Femi Gbajabiamila as the party ’ s choices for Senate President and House Speaker . It also took the intervention of the APC governors before he could send the list of party nominees for some principal posts to Saraki and Dogara. The source added : “ There is much anger in the party against Oyegun . Many leaders have accused him of being indecisive or afraid to take the right decision . “ It is as if the man has no backbone or self - respect. When he should move, he sits down . When he should talk , he is mute . When he should make a decision , he sleeps and after finally making a decision , he takes days to implement something that could be done in minutes . “ After Saraki and Dogara rebelled by aligning with PDP National Assembly members , Oyegun remained strangely mum and unmoved to the harm being done to his and the party ’ s authority. ‘ He took the rebuff too lightly and quickly as if he almost welcomed it . ’ “ It was only after APC governors intervened and applied heavy pressure that he wrote a letter to the Senate President and House Speaker naming the party ’ s choices for majority leader and the other posts . “ Even then , the letter was half - hearted, oddly brief and strangely passive in tone . It was as if he wrote it under compulsion because he had been boxed into a corner by the governors and not by conviction. Once again , Saraki and Dogara rebuffed him and once again Oyegun took the insult as if he asked for it . ” Also , a member of NEC said : “ What happened in the National Assembly was a pure case of failure of leadership by the National Chairman . “ Certainly , his lapse is one of the major issues we will discuss at the National Caucus meeting in Abuja and later at our NEC session . “ We are all disappointed and feel betrayed by Oyegun because he refused to take action at the right time even when President Muhammadu Buhari said he would leave the party to resolve the logjam in the National Assembly . ” Analysing the APC and the National Assembly crisis in an article published on page 3 of this newspaper , former Interim National Chairman of the party , Chief Bisi Akande , warned of the danger ahead for the party if nothing urgent is done to remedy the crisis arising from the election of Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara. He said : “Now that the whole conspiracy has blown open , it is doubtful if the present institutions of party leadership can muster the required capacity to arrest the drift . “ It is my opinion that President Buhari , and the APC governors should now see APC as a recking platform that may not be strong enough again to carry them to political victory in 2019 and they should quickly begin a joint damage control effort to reconstruct the party in its claim to bring about the promised change before the party ’ s shortcomings begin to aggravate the challenges of governance in their hands . ” The former Osun State Governor added : “Before the party knew it , the process had been hijacked by polluted interests who saw the inordinate contests as a loop - hole for stifling APC governments ’ efforts in its desire to fight corruption. “ Most Northern elites , the Nigerian oil subsidy barons and other business cartels who never liked Buhari ’ s anti - corruption political stance are quickly backing- up the rebellion against APC with strong support . “ While other position seekers are waiting in the wings until Buhari ’ s ministers are announced , a large section of the South - West see the rebellion as a conspiracy of the North against the Yoruba. ” Odigie - Oyegun himself has said that he cannot be stampeded out of office , saying efforts will be made to resolve all issues . The party ’ s state chairmen also last week after a meeting in Abuja , expressed support for the party chairman. In a communique signed by Chairman of the Kano chapter Alhaji Umar Haruna Mohammed , the party chiefs expressed concern over the crises rocking the party over the emergence of the leadership of the National Assembly . “ As state party chairmen and direct grassroots leaders , we are all concerned about the development and therefore re - affirm our belief and loyalty to our party , the APC , its supremacy as contained in the party ’ s constitution and the decision of its leadership . “ We are also not happy with recent development in the National Assembly , especially the lower chamber , and call on the party leadership to put in place proper machineries to checkmate further occurrences. “ We also call on the party leaders to use the long break with the view of resolving the matter so that the much needed change will be seen and enjoyed by everybody . ” 1 Like |

The Oyegun man seems to be a dummy. The fact that he has got no political relevance in his territory speaks ill of him. I can't see how any of the APC victories can be attributed to his physical and mental activities. |

I detest lamentation by Akande. All APC did was to wrestle the Presidency away from PDP after which their true colour manifested. In their own interest, the leaders should work together and sweep out people that are working against party's interest without violating the rights of the masses that voted them into power. Besides, their logo is broom, they'd better use it to sweep their house clean or Nigerians would help them in 2019. A house divided against itself won't stand and if this lingers, Doyin Okupe's prediction might surely come to pass. 1 Like |

Dogo Yaro Party. In other news it was reported that the Daura President has started his anti-corruption war and he intends to recover looted funds in abroad and his fellow cows were rejoicing. I can't help but laugh at their foolishness. Am giving you cows 3Months no money will be recovered. You can't recover what you didn't lose.

Well, we told them continually that they are all strange bed fellows, they called us TANoids. APC only rode on the popularity of Fashola's work in Lagos to term themselves progressives, apart from Fasola point to any other governor under ACN or CPC or the defected PDP governors who did any good works. Most of them are on the list of governors owing salaries even before the election. They say if someone offers you a piece of clothing, you first check the one he has on himself. Nigerians never checked the works of those people calling themselves progressive, they were hell bent on sending zGEJ away. Tinubu took advantage so his progressive propaganda hypes met with a failed presidential aspirants with his baggage of almajiris who only wanted power moved back to the North. They formed a party and quickly tapped into the political atmosphere to ride to a controversial victory. What This mindless Nigerians voted for was a keg of gun powder which is gradually exploding. Chief Akande should speak for himself, they were the ones outsmarted not a section of southwest. I am from the south west and I dont feel short changed as I have never hidden my disdain for APC. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Hmmmmmm! South east and south south hates them, so they say and shout. Now north hates them, so they also say and shout. They should just look at themselves very well and see why every region is scared of them. I can't believe that so soon, they will be shouting northerners are conspiring against them. It's still early morning. I guess they are in dilemma of what position to take in 2019 after betraying their fellow southern brothers, the south south and south east. 2019 would be interesting because I know the south south and south east will want to pay them back in their own coin by voting a northerner as president as they are doing now in the national assembly. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

This Chief cannot afford to be blaming the Northerners now if truly Chief Bisi Akande is a good student of History. Yorubas collabo with Hausa-Fulanis in the politicosphere of Nigeria always backfire leaving Yorubas shortchanged ......Afonja/Gere Alimi>Chief S.L Akintola/Ahmadu Bello>M.K.O Abiola/Murtala Mohammed, IBB & Abacha> and now Tinubu/Buhari are clear evidences but will Yorubas ever learn from HISTORY?
