Some governors in the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) have called for the removal of the party’s chairman, Adams Oshiomole.
Reports in The Cable have it that a minister who spoke on the basis of anonymity said the governors are complaining about the chairman’s style of leadership and have made frantic efforts to make their intentions known to the president, Muhammadu Buhari.
The minister went on to claim that the governors did not donate the party’s convention as they clamoured for the change of power within the party’s reins.
He said: “Some of the governors who are displeased with the leadership style of Oshiomhole have told President Muhammadu Buhari that Oshiomhole must give way if the APC is to record victory in the 2019 general election. “They are insisting that Oshiomhole must go because they can’t work with him for the election next year. They refused to contribute to the APC convention and asked the party chairman to use the N10 billion he collected from the sale of nomination forms. They are also monitoring how he is spending it.”
The minister then went on to hint that some of the governors have even the president to strategise Oshiomhole’s removal.
