APC ‘collapsing with no leader in charge’ – Senior party official
Nigeria’s ruling party, APC, “is collapsing with no leader in charge,” one of its senior officials said on Thursday.
“Does the current APC leadership crisis therefore suggest declining moral authority of our two leaders? It is very easy to reach conclusions,” he said. The latest crisis took a new dimension last Friday when the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, was disqualified by the party’s screening committee, an outcome he blamed on his mentor-turned-rival, Adams Oshiomhole.
By Tuesday night, the APC spokesperson, Lanre Issa-Onilu, announced the party’s deputy national chairman , Abiola Ajimobi, as interim chairman. In a separate press conference at the party secretariat on Wednesday, 15 of the 21 members of the APC National Working Committee reaffirmed Mr Ajimobi as the party’s interim national chairman. Only 12 NWC members were, however, present during the announcement.
