I Regret Convening Meeting Same Day Saraki, Ekweremadu Were Elected - Oyegun by midolian(m): 9:10am On Jun 26, 2016


The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has opened up on the worst mistake he made in the recent past as the APC chairman, which if given a second chance he will undo.

He disclosed this “bad mistake” to Daily Trust in an interview, stating that his decision to call a meeting of the federal lawmakers elected on the platform of his party on the day the eight National Assembly was inaugurated was a terrible mistake, stressing that if he had not listened to the advice of those who persuaded him to do so, the Peoples Democratic Party wouldn’t have produced the deputy Senate President.

According to Oyegun, “There are lots of decisions, not just one, some of which are private. If you want to limit it to the recent past, I would say the decision to call the meeting that took place on the day the National Assembly was inaugurated. That was a bad mistake.

“I was persuaded and I agreed to call that meeting. Had it been it did not take place, we probably won’t have a PDP person there today as the deputy Senate president. The anger within the leadership of the party may not have turned out as strong as it became.”

It would be recalled that following the inability of the federal lawmakers to choose a consensus candidate to lead them at the inauguration of the National Assembly, the ruling party leadership had reportedly scheduled a meeting with the lawmakers for 9am same day of inauguration.

However, before APC Senators, who are in the majority, could return from the meeting which took place at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, their PDP colleagues helped to install Saraki as the Senate President, electing one of their own, Ike Ekweremadu as his Deputy.

Politics is just a game of mind and if what they planned that day had worked, by now he won't be regretting the decision but PDP senators saw it coming and played a fast one on them..
Mr. Party Chairman, next time you want to make such decisions try and think it deep, most especially, the implications that might result if things goes the other way..
Am sure Ahmed Lawal and Tinubu that persuaded you to call such meeting ain't taking the blames now.
Suffering are lessons and am sure you've learnt something from this..

Long stories and contradictory tales. I thought d meeting was at d behest of d president who was supposed to be at the venue?

I'm not surprised though cos it showed Nigerians early on the kind of representatives they voted that would rather elevate mere party functions over their constitutional duties which includes d inauguration of the Senate. They were expecting the Senate to be on hold for them because they're d almighty APC

Don't mind that man. They often take Nigerians for fools by coming up with childish explanations when caught in the web of miscalculated gaffes. Having seen the potentiality of the party's candidate loosing woefully against Saraki, they surreptitiously conveyed that meeting to thwart the impending doom but ended up complicating matters. The meeting was called to prevent the Senate leadership election from taking place It was a gamble that boomeranged.

Now it's becoming revealing who actually called for that meeting and not the president nor VP as wrongly circulated.



Now, in a bid to correct the selfish mistakes of few, the country is now brought to halt while the institutions are at logger head cos they felt corrections need to be made instead of accepting their blunders and moving forward.

On a good day, the chairman should have resigned for that costly mistakes having realised the effect of his singular act to the party and the polity cum the nation t large cos the bid to remove or change the leadership of the senate is slowing down the activities of both the senate and the executive .
This is sad!

We have to thank God for making sure Tinubu didn't produce the vice president, the senate and House speaker.
Buhari would have been dead now if Tinubu had succeeded in implementing his evil agenda.

This is why APC have done everything to remove Saraki. Their latest effort is to charge Saraki to court for forging senate rules.

Politicians are deceitful. APC party chairman called for the meeting and lied that it was President Buhari. So APC as a party should live with their erroneous decision and leave Saraki and Ekweremadu to finish their tenure without harassment.
