Amidst calls for the removal of the current National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, five states from his South-south region have passed a vote of confidence on his leadership of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
The five states also vowed to resist any attempt by some people they described as fifth columnist to cause disaffection in the party ahead of the election.
In a communiqué after a meeting of South-south APC state chairmen in Abuja, signed by Prophet Jones Ode Erue of Delta, Anslem Ojezua Edo, Hon.Ini Okopido Akwa Ibom , Hon.Amos Jothan Bayelsa and Dr Matthew Achigbe of Rivers stated that the leadership of the APC under Comrade Oshiomhole has been working satisfactorily in repositioning the party.
“We chairmen of the All Progressives Congress in the six states of the South South, at the end of our emergency meeting held on Thursday October 25, 2018, in Abuja issued the following communique.
“That we are satisfied with the conduct and outcome of the Presidential, National Assembly and State House of Assembly Primaries held at the National and state level.
“We stand by the leadership of the party under Comrade Oshiomhole and we will resist alleged efforts of fifth columnist to cause disaffection in the party. All those allegedly working for the removal of our national Chairman are not only doing so for selfish reason, but working to cause crisis in our party ahead of the election and we will resist all such moves.
“We are convinced that all their plans indirectly aimed at the second term victory of President Muhammadu Buhari come 2019. We want to add that those calling for the resignation of our amiable National chairman, Comrade Oshiomhole are enemies of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“We appeal to all our governors, party leaders and members to unite as one and continue to support the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole led National Working Committee (NWC) of our great party and we are sure of victory come 2019 general elections.”
