Oyegun Picks ADC Membership Card, Blames APC For Nation’s Woes
Former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Oyegun, on Tuesday, blamed the ruling party for the economic hardship Nigerians are going through.
He spoke at the occasion he was presented with the membership card of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) by the Edo State chairman of the party, Kennedy Odion, in Benin, the state capital.
Odion lauded Oyegun for his roles in developing democracy in Nigeria, noting that he is not new to forming a coalition.
He said, “He has put together what is called a coalition before, and he succeeded. So, in mathematics, once you understand the formula, the answer is in view. So, he understands how he did it before, so doing it again is not a difficult task.
“So as God may have it, he is not from any other state but from the heartbeat of this nation, Edo State and we are moving the coalition together.
He was the chairman of the implementation committee that decided that ADC would be the platform.”
On the part, Oyegun said before they settled for ADC, they did extensive research and found out that it is the party that has the interest of Nigerians at heart.
He added, “We talked to a lot of parties, about seven. Up till the very last minute. We made a report and we said ADC. And some said, ‘No, no, no, you must still talk to this, you must still talk to that.’
“So, we delayed the decision for another fortnight.
“At the end of our meeting, we still came back. I said, ‘Yes, what you ask us to do, we’ve done. We’ve talked to the others, but we have not seen a party as dedicated as the ADC’”, Oyegun said.
Oyegun further blamed the ruling APC for the hunger and starvation in the country.
He also blamed the APC-led government for its inability to tackle the rising insecurity in the country, especially in Benue and other states.
The former APC national chairman said the country has never been so divided as it is under the present leadership of Bola Tinubu.
He said those who are peddling the rumour that the ADC is planning to disrupt the government of the day are only trying to diminish the aims and objectives of the coalition, which is to rescue Nigerians.
Oyegun said the party is growing by the day and that other notable politicians are still coming to join them soon.
“So, from a month ago, you were just ADC. Today, one can say we are the largest party in this nation. We are growing by the day, we are growing by the week. We are growing by the month. It’s still ADC, but ADC is now a mix of the best of the PDP and the APC. More are still coming on the way,” he said.
