A Chieftain of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka has blasted the party’s national chairman, Chief Victor Ike Oye over the comment he made following former President Olusegun Obasanjo‘s advice to President Muhammadu Buhari.
In his reaction to Obasanjo’s comment, Oye had said that President Buhari does not need Obasanjo’s advice howsoever but Ezeonwuka who is a member of APGA Board of Trustees (BoT) said that Oye spoke his personal mind as according to him, he did not consult with the relevant officials of the party neither did the party officials met and gave him the mandate to speak for the party.
According to The Tribune, while reacting to Oye’s comment, Ezeonwuka who is the Ogilisi Igbo noted that as a person and politician too Oye has the right to air his views and opinions on any issue, but as the national chairman of a political party he has to consult with the leaders of the party before speaking out for the party noting that the leader and BoT chairman of APGA Governor Willie Obiano, Senator Victor Umeh and other members of the National Assembly under the party, top States House Assembly members under the party, National Working Committee of the party and the BoT members among others have to be consulted before a statement is issued on the position of the party on certain issues.
The Chieftain, with a Traditional Tittle, Ogilisi Igbo, meaning a spiritual leader of Igbo land said that Oye’s comments which sounds in favor of Buhari is an act of betrayal to APGA and the people of the Southeast, at this point in time wondering why the APGA boss who has been silent on the killings of innocent souls going on everywhere in Nigeria by Fulani herdsmen under Buhari regime, silent on the call for Restructuring and other issues should hurriedly make favorable comment on Buhari.
He said that it is neither right nor safe for Nigerians to ignore such a well-articulated advice from a highly experienced leader like Obasanjo who have seen it as far as the leadership of Nigeria is concerned noting that even the Federal Government through Lai Mohammed said that the advice is taking in good faith.
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
