Oshiomhole to RESIGN says Lawal Shuaibu
He landed many people in great surprise as The Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Lawal Shuaibu has given reasons why Adams Oshiomhole
should resign.
The controversy that has hit the ruling party in Nigeria just as the second term is about to kick off officially has left so many people in great surprise.
The Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Lawal Shuaibu has given reasons why he is against the continued stay of the APC Ntional Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, in office as the helmsman of the party. Shuiabu said the electoral fortunes of the APC had dwindled because of the leadership style of Oshiomhole, whom he accused of conducting the NWC meetings at a private residence instead of the party’s national secretariat, The Punch reports.
He added, “We had 23 states in 2015, but after the 2019 elections we lost seven states! We also had 60 senators in 2015 at the end of the elections; we now end up with 57 senators in 2019! You were not brought in to lose election. It is absolutely unacceptable!
“What this entails is that for any senator to become a presiding officer he needs to go and kneel down before the PDP senators and beg for support! And to make things worse, you announced that the APC will not allow any PDP senator to be appointed as committee chairman except the committees statutorily meant for the opposition members of the Senate. That is never the tradition of the legislature anywhere! The legislature is the house of collaboration and lobby and you can never succeed with hostile approach, you must lobby to seek for cooperation of members across party divides.
“If you don’t know, you have made the situation worse than it seems. Try and use your calculator and you will find that as at now, if anybody, backed by the PDP members, wants to become the Senate President, all he needs is the support of only six APC senators to win the election on the floor of the Senate! Chairman, strategies are not announced on television, they are discussed at caucuses.”
Shuaibu pointed out that the maturity exhibited throughout the 2015 political rallies by the APC, together with the aura of the party’s presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, attracted massive goodwill for the party, and the value addition to that, were unquantifiable.
