As the agitation for the removal of
the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, John
Oyegun, continues to grow, the suspended Deputy National Publicity
Secretary of the party, Comrade Timi Frank, has said that the
South-South zone will meet, to pick Oyegun’s replacement.
Recall, that Oyegun, who had fallen
out with the National Leader of the party, Bola Tinubu, is in the good
books of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Frank, on Sunday, November 20, in
response to the question that the former Governor of Edo State, Comrade
Adams Oshiomhole, has been penciled down to replace the APC National
Chairman, maintained that the party would soon announce Oyegun’s
replacement.
However, Frank feigned ignorance of
such plans of replacing Oyegun with Oshiomhole, but stated that the
Zonal Party Committee, would meet to bring a replacement, once Oyegun
was removed.
He said: “I don’t know about any plan to replace Oyegun with Oshiomhole, but what l know, is that we have capable people from the South South that can replace Oyegun, and the zone would meet to choose a person that would replace the National Chairman”.
Some party members have called for the
replacement of Oyegun with Oshiomhole, even as it is being alleged that
Tinubu is in favour of Oshiomhole.
In 2014, when Oyegun emerged as the
National Chairman of the APC, he had contested the position with three
other aspirants. Among those were: former Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Chief Tom Ikimi; former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva;
and former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Dr. Sam Sam Jaja.
Recall, that Chief Ikimi left the APC, for what he considered undue process for the emergence of Oyegun as National Chairman.
