Atiku Drops Shocking on Tinubu and Oyegun APC Problem

Former Vice President and chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar, says that the APC leadership was wrong to deviate from its own resolution calling for the cancellation of the Ondo state governorship primary.

He said in a statement on Wednesday that “since the APC found veritable reasons to review the outcome of the gubernatorial primary election it conducted in Ondo State, and was able to establish valid grounds to cancel that election and call for a fresh one, the decision to deviate from its own resolution is a negation of due process and an unfashionable hollow in democratic best practices.”

Atiku’s position is aligned to that of the APC national leader, Bola Tinubu, who called on the party chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun to resign in a statement released over the weekend.

Atiku however did not demand Oyegun’s resignation in his own statement.

Weighing in on the matter, Atiku said it is crucial for the national leadership of the party to live by the rules of internal democracy and respect for democratic consensus.
