Loading ...National Secretariat of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has been deserted by members of the National Working Committee (NWC) following a 10-day leave embarked upon by the national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
Although, it was gathered that the center could not hold again for the APC national excos who were said to be having running battle with each other over inability of some of them to account for funds in their custody.
It was reported earlier that Chief Oyegun has been forced to proceed on a compulsory leave which may end his tenure as the pioneer chairman of APC.
Oyegun, while reacting to the reports told newsmen on Friday that he would be starting a 10-fay leave Beginning since Monday (yesterday).
When asked on the reason for the brake, the APC national chairman said: “I have been chairman for how long now? going to two years, and it has been a very intense period building the party and a very intense period putting government together up to this point.
“All that has happened is that I think I deserve a bit of a break and that will start effective Monday and in my absence my deputy here, Engr Segun Oni will cover my beat. It is that simple, it is that straightforward. Any speculation about not being in the office is of no consequence.On Tuesday I was down with malaria, I managed on Wednesday to attend that crucial meeting at the presidency, yesterday I had to go to the hospital just to be sure and today I am at work, full stop.
“So please, please, please I know the press is supposed to be imaginative and steer the news but not when there is really nothing to steer. It is that simple.”
Our correspondent who visited the national secretariat, however, observed absence of nearly all the national officers except the acting chairman, Segun Oni and national youth leader, Dasuki Jalo, who came briefly on Monday and Tuesday
A staff of the Secretariat who pleaded not to be named in print, told newsmen in confidence that “all the national officers are staying away because they don’t want to answers questions as regard the running of the party.”
Another source revealed that the acting national chairman, Segun Oni, has moved Oyegun’s office, saying “that is an indication that Oyegun might not vome back because if you are acting as chairman, he supposed to act from his own office not Oyegun’s office,” the source said.
