APC governors say party worse off under Adams Oshiomhole

The Progressive Governors Forum has criticised the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, for the party’s ‘diminishing fortunes’.

It’s Director-General, Salihu Lukman, in a letter entitled, “APC: Appeal for Reconciliation”, dated August 6, 2019, and addressed to the former labour leader, said things had allegedly gotten worse in the ruling party.

He said: “As a loyal party member, I have difficulty reconciling the absence of meetings of superior organs given all the challenges the party is going through, warranting the suspension of three serving governors (two of them now senators) and two members of the National Working Committee (NWC).

Lukman observed that there was hardly any difference between Oshiomole’s management of the party and the way Chief John Odigie-Oyegun managed it during his tenure.

“Instead, things have really got worse and painfully, it would appear, you are in denial of this reality. It would appear that the leadership problems facing the party are getting deeper and in the circumstance, the business of building the party will be sacrificed.

The forum attributed the loss of the governorship contests in Zamfara, Oyo, Imo, Bauchi, and Adamawa states to the internal wrangling allegedly created by the APC chair, warning that similar scenarios might play out in Kogi, Ondo and Edo.
