APC Crisis: Osita Okechukwu Lists Oshiomhole’s 10 Mortal Sins

Ahead of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the All Progressive Congress (APC), a chieftain of the party and the Director-General, Voice of Nigeria (VON), Chief Osita Okechukwu, yesterday adduced reasons why a faction of the party is calling for the removal of the party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
Okechukwu who issued a statement on behalf of the “Oshiomhole Must Go” group shortly after the Court of Appeal session in Abuja listed 10 “sins” allegedly committed by Oshiomhole against the party.
Among other things, the group accused Oshiomhole of reviving and resurrecting the collapsing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) structure, a political party it said was in 2018, ravaged by internecine intra-party feud but yet went ahead to win more states like Adamawa, Bauchi, Zamfara, and Sokoto, all strongholds of APC.
The statement reads: “With the greatest respect to our national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we are passionate and loyal members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the grassroots level. Permit us to state without equivocation that, hitherto we held Comrade Adams Oshiomhole in high esteem and had high expectations of optimum performance and quality leadership from him. That explains why we the APC delegates nationwide unanimously and consensually elected him as sole chairmanship candidate two years ago.
“It is therefore, with deep regret that two years down the line, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, now a bull in the China shop, in utter disregard to the high expectations of the responsibility entrusted on him, and the constitution of the APC has today committed without remorse or introspection 10 monumental cardinal sins against our great party, the APC. If there is a virus as our revered Asiwaju proclaimed, it is more of Osho-virus than 2023 virus!
“With deep anguish and regret may we among the litany of woes, itemise the 10 Osho-Virus blunders as follows: Revival and Resurrection of collapsing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) structure, a political party in 2018 was ravaged by internecine intra-party feud, to win more states like Adamawa, Bauchi, Zamfara, and Sokoto, all strongholds of APC.
