Chief Francis Inegbeniki, a chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state, has warned that no amount of calls by some leaders of the party can remove the national chairman Chief John Odigie-Oyegun from office, Vanguard reports.
Inegbeniki, on Thursday, October 6, in a statement on behalf of “APC Disciples in Edo,” said: “It is unfortunate that our national leader, whom we all respect so much and Timi Frank, have asked Oyegun to resign from office, without disclosing the offence that he committed to warrant his resignation.
“Our national leader’s anger against Oyegun is related to the just concluded Ondo State APC governorship primaries, while Timi Frank’s anger is the unfortunate crisis rocking the National Assembly. Oyegun is not the cause of the crisis in the National Assembly and cannot take decision alone without other members of the National Working Committee.
“Oyegun was not an aspirant in the Ondo APC primaries, so, it is unnecessary for anyone to direct his anger at Oyegun. It is not fair to put all the blames on him. Nobody should use Oyegun as the sacrificial lamb.
“We are therefore, calling on the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and members of the National Working Committee to call Timi Frank to order.”
Meanwhile, the national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has reacted to the call for his resignation by the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking to State House correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, October 4, Odigie-Oyegun said that he cannot be removed from office on the pages of newspapers.
