Civil Society Organization reaffirms confidence in Oyegun

The Network of Civil Society Organizations has urged the National Assembly led by Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, to cooperate with the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and respect the supremacy of the party.

The group, in a statement issued in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lawal Bamidele, equally passed a vote of confidence on the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun amidst calls for his resignation.

The group, in the statement, summed up its affirmations thus: “We call on the entire party leadership organogram to give the National Working Committee (NWC) members of the party the needed support and synergy which they so much needed for greater performance in formulating better administrative initiatives.

“We adjure the National Assembly under the leadership of His Excellency Sen. Bukola Saraki for the Senate and Hon. Yakubu Dogara for the House of Representatives to cooperate with the party leadership and respect the supremacy of the party above personal interest.

“It is rather unfortunate and distractive that certain individuals are calling for the resignation of the National Chairman at this time when he has barely led the party to accomplish unprecedented fit of defeating a seating President – a fit which rather demands commendation as against condemnation.

“APC as a party that preaches change, should not be seen to be re-enacting the usual Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s syndrome of use and dump,” the statement noted.
