Chapters of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo, Osun, Akwa Ibom, Katsina, Osun, Enugu and Abia states have kicked against the call by the APC Deputy National Chairman, Lawal Shuaibu, for the resignation of the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
But chapters of the APC in Imo and Sokoto states backed the deputy national chairman, saying Oshiomhole was promoting impunity in the party and should quit.
Shuaibu had, in a letter dated May 27, called for the resignation of Oshiomhole, claiming that the former Edo State governor lacked the composure to lead the APC.
According to him, the APC under Oshiomhole had become badly fractured in virtually every constituency in the country and was fast losing the goodwill it enjoyed before Oshiomhole’s emergence.
Supporting the call by Shuaibu, the Imo State chapter of the APC said the ex-governor’s resignation was long overdue.
The APC chairman in the state, Daniel Nwafor, who spoke to one of our correspondents, said Oshiomhole’s continued stay as the party’s chairman was “a threat to the APC.”
Nwafor said under Oshiomhole, the APC had had huge misfortunes and had lost many seats and positions to the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said, “I am in full support of the call for the resignation of Adams Oshiomhole as our national chairman. He has overstayed his welcome. Under his leadership, we have lost many seats and positions to the PDP.”
