The Chieftains in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC have written a letter of grievance to President Muhammadu Buhari over the in-actions of its national chairman John Odigie-Oyegun on the current crisis within the party.

According to The Punch, the chieftains who are members of the National Executive Council (NEC) of APC, came together, under the umbrella of APC NEC Forum to put their complains in a letter, voicing out their continual exclusion from the party’s affairs.

The Forum asked President Buhari to instruct the National Working Committee headed by Oyegun to immediately arrange a NEC meeting. The said the purpose of the meeting is to enable members tackle the problems bringing disunity within the party’s rank and file.

Referencing the letter, the members of the forum had sent several letters to the national chairman of the party, “but no positive reaction thus, this is Save our partyrequest”.

The letter was signed by Omolayo Akintola, who is the National formal Official/South-West Coordinator, dated 6th April, 2017 and entitled: “Save our party – APC”. It was made available to journalists on Sunday, April 9, 2017.

Part of the letter reads: “To be noted for appropriate advice is the exclusion of a sizeable number of federating states from the scheme of things within the party because many states are not presently represented by party officers on the current National Working Committee, hence, the need to be having regular NEC meetings pending the much awaited amendment to the present party constitution.

“We, therefore, deemed it necessary putting this letter across for your timely actions to save our great party from preventable, avoidable and unnecessary intra-party/in-house cracks that the present situation might generate.”
