APC Might Implode, Oyegun Warns 


The All Progressives Congress (APC), National Chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, has cautioned the warring parties in the Kano State chapter of the party against creating problem that may lead to a volatile situation and implosion in the state.

Oyegun's caution came just as the rift that pitched the state Governor, Abdullhi Umar Ganduje, against his predecessor, Senator Rabiu  Kwankwaso, seems far from receding as 36 state lawmakers and the state executives of the party yesterday insisted on suspending former state Chairman of the party, Umar Haruna Doguwa, and the Organising Secretary, Sanusi Sirajo Kwankwaso.

Addressing a delegation of the party stakeholders from Kano at the APC national secretariat in Abuja today, Oyegun said allowing crisis to rock a state as sensitive and volatile as Kano will spell doom for governance of the state.

"So it is in our interest, your interest and certainly our interest in the national secretariat to ensure that this differences between two of our very prominent leaders in state must not go any further and does not become yet another issue so that we will be feeding the media.
"Let me warn that the greatest disservice we can do to ourselves now is to have wars within the party in a state as critical to us as Kano. Kano is an important and critical state to the APC.

"The country, though no fault our, is going through more difficult time. We took over in a situation that was worse than we expected. So all of us in the party must unite behind our chief executives, the president and the governors,” he said.

Oyegun said the party had already appointed team of three led by a Deputy National Chairman (north), Senator Lawal Shuaibu; the party's
National Secretary, Alhaji Mai Mala Buni, and the National Organising Secretary, Osita Izunaso, to mediate in the crisis.


"I am also aware that the governors have also welded in. Lastly, I am aware that traditional rulers in the state have also meddled in this issue. It is a situation that we must not as a party allow to blossom. We must nip it in the bud because it is unnecessary, a most distracting thing capable of causing problem in a state as sensitive, and to some extent, as volatile as Kano,” the party chief added.
