Party Crisis : Amosun, Okorocha, Yari, bad losers — APC

Primaries exposed Oshiomhole’s incompetence, says Gov Akeredolu •I’ll join women to protest naked in Abuja, says Ogun Dep Governor •As governors opposed to Oshiomhole fail to meet again 

ABUJA—The national leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday, rallied against forces seeking removal of the chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, describing Governors Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara, Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun and Rochas Okorocha of Imo states as bad losers.

The party said the governors sought to circumvent the democratic process to project their interests. Governor Okorocha, NAN gathered, may have continued his agitations against Oshiomhole, having discovered that contrary to expectations, his son-in-law’s name, Uche Nwosu, was not submitted as the APC governorship candidate.

Senator Hope Uzodinma’s name was pencilled down for submission in respect of the governorship by the Oshiomhole leadership to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. The party’s claims came against the background of foundering moves by the anti-Oshiomhole lobby to rally themselves to force out the former governor of Edo State from the office of national chairman. 

All these came as Governor Rotimi Akeredolu yesterday said the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries has exposed the incompetence of the party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole. Akeredolu  was reacting to an allegation that three governors led by him were bent on sabotaging the party.
