Uwoghiren: How APC can resolve Edo crisis
Jefferson Uwoghiren is a lawyer and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Edo State. In this interview withcrisis in Edo APC is getting worse by the day. What is your take on the dimension the crisis is taking?
It is very frightening now that we now have allegations and counter-allegations of bombing and explosives being bandied by persons and actors involved in this crisis. It is the first time a state governor is accusing the National Chairman of his own political party of organising criminals of this kind of heinous conduct.
The governor as the leader of the party is a victim of a calculated campaign of calumny designed, managed and sustained or funded by the same persons we are talking about. Who are you bringing together? We have had instances where people disappointed with the party or government in the state, they will decamp after expressing their disappointment.
In the schools, they said they put a red roof but where are the chairs? Is it the roof that matters to the children or the teachers and the learning environment? Oshiomhole was interested in removing the roofs of schools but not interested in changing the chairs the students will sit on and learn. Can red oil and water mix together? People who have taken politics as a career and not service as the major bedrock of their involvement in politics will always complain.The first step is for President Buhari to realise that the decision to make Oshiomhole National Chairman of the APC was a horrible decision. It was a misadventure to replace Oyegun with Oshiomhole.
He has been unable to use deception to win over everybody. His hallow intellectual capacity and management skills have been noticeable to all. They know he does not have the rudimentary and elementary capacity to manage a great party like the APC. He became National Chairman of the PDP when Lucky Igbinedion was governor of the state. They had a disagreement but no issue suspension. Oyegun was National Chairman of the APC when Oshiomhole was governor.
That is not possible. That is an invitation to anarchy. When Oyegun was National Chairman, Oshiomhole was the leader of the party in Edo State. Did Oshiomhole allow Oyegun to be the leader of the party even in Oyegun’s ward.
