Oshiomhole, Okorocha, Uche Nwosu. |
With
certain scenarios that have played out within the fold of All Progressives
Congress, APC, at the moment and in less than one month after the National
Convention of the Party, it is obvious that the emergence of Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole as National Chairman has saved the party from an impending
catastrophe.
With
the unfolding developments in the party, the story would have been very
nauseating if there was no National Convention and if Adams Oshiomhole had not
emerged as the National Chairman of the Party.
It
can also be argued that some of the proponents of tenure elongation were
innocently doing so without having an overview of the entire disturbing picture
behind the scheming for elongation of tenure. All these defections, as we all
could see, were never planned in the past few weeks. The coming of Oshiomhole
just forced the cat out of the bag.
With
the events too, leaders of the party could now see the wisdom in jettisoning
the clamour for tenure elongation for the John Oyegun led National Working
Committee (SWC) members, and opting for a National Convention to elect new
officers. In the circumstance, those who opposed the elongation stuff and
insisted on Convention should now be commended.
One
could easily imagine what would have been the case if the party had allowed the
Oyegun-led SWC to continue and what would have happened at the Party’s
Primaries especially that of presidency.
What
is happening in the party now could not have been planned and executed within
these few weeks Oshiomhole took over as the National Chairman of the party.
Rather, his coming only altered the plan of those who wanted to destroy APC to
serve personal interests.
When
the issue of elongation came up, we heard a lot of stories why some of those
behind the undemocratic demand were persistent on that. That, there was an
arrangement somewhere to shortchange President Muhammadu Buhari at the
presidential primary for 2019. And with events of the moment, that claim has
got an alibi.
In
other words, Oshiomhole’s coming was timely. He came at the appropriate time.
He is on it and will get it right. All we need to do is to support him. APC has
come to stay as number one party in the Country and even in Africa. And
whatever that is happening in the party now are indices of Party Politics and
they have nothing to do with the fortunes of the party either now or in 2019.
In
2019, President Muhammadu Buhari will be re-elected by Nigerians. The Party
will also have more governors and more legislators elected by the electorate because
the records are available to show that we have done well in four years compared
with the sixteen years spent by the other party.
Adams
Oshiomhole has the political WILL and all it takes to make APC an institution
that we shall all be proud of. We know his capacity and that was why we all
supported him. He will drive us safely to our destination by the grace of God.
