SAN FRANCISCO, October 24, (THEWILL) – The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, VON, Osita Okechukuwu, has called for the resignation of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.
Okechukwu, who is also a senatorial aspirant for the Enugu West District, made the call on Wednesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, as he also blamed the crisis in the APC on the alleged authoritarianism of the party’s leadership.
According to him, the negative reactions trailing the recent conduct of the party’s primaries across the states of the federation is as a result of people placing personal interests over that of the party.
He said, “The little I could read on Comrade Oshiomhole is that he suffers from nacism what in a local palace is called ‘I too know.’
“He doesn’t believe in anybody except himself. He has a fascination with himself and that is costly for the APC. So he should just resign.
“What I am saying is that the crisis on the ground could be located on preferences to kindreds and cronies because if he (Oshiomhole) was genuine, the National Working Committee could have been in a place to resolve the issue.
“If there was no authoritarianism or high handedness in his governance, these people could have looked into the composition.”
The VON Boss stated further that if the party’s collective interest was placed first above personal interests, the APC would not be in crisis.
While citing Section 20 of the party’s constitution, Okechukwu said its leadership should have taken into consideration the Federal Character Principle before making rules and regulations for the conduct of its primaries.
He explained that the party under its current leadership have drifted from its change mantra it promised in the 2015 general election
