APC Crisis: Oshiomhole Must Go – Governors, Ex-Governors Insist

Despite leading the All Progressives Congress (APC) to victory in the just concluded Kogi and Bayelsa governorship elections, majority of the governors elected on the party’s platform

are resolute in their demands that Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the national chairman of the party, must resign and allow a new helmsman take charge of the affairs of the party.

Daily Independent gathered that despite claims by loyalists of Oshiomhole that he has been winning elections for the party, the governors and former governors who are hell-bent on removing the embattled national chairman are of the opinion that the party is more divided than ever before under his leadership and thus the need for a change.

They insisted that Oshiomhole’s continuous stay has polarised the party, a development they fear may lead to the party’s collapse, especially when President Muhammadu Buhari who is perceived as the rallying figure in the party will not be contesting again.

One of their major arguments is that it does not speak well for the party when the home base of Oshiomhole in Edo State is a theatre of war with no peace in sight.

“Contrary to the impression being created that APC governors are pulling out of the plot to remove Oshiomhole, those who want him out are increasing on a daily basis even though his supporters too are doing all they can to thwart the plot.

“They are claiming rather than seeking his removal, Oshiomhole should be celebrated for leading the party to victory in the just concluded elections in Kogi and Bayelsa.

However, the governors and other stakeholders are saying they are not looking at the present but the future as they doubt that the party can survive beyond 2023 under Oshiomhole’s leadership.
