South-West Youths on Sunday put
up a spirited defence of the character and integrity of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, describing him as a
modernizer with an uncommon vision.
“Odigie–Oyegun’s politics is driven
by character and integrity” they said.
The youths heaped praises on Oyegun
for protecting the rights of everyone who seeks an elective office in the
executive and legislature.
The youths in a statement in Akure
applauded Oyegun for the dignity, diligence and dedication he has demonstrated
in his duties as national chairman.
“Chief Odigie-Oyegun is a
principled, forthright and articulate politician’.
They accused the former governor of
Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu and the deputy publicity secretary of the party,
Mr. Timi Frank of working hard to destroy the party.
Signed by the Chairman, South-West
APC Youth Forum, Dr. Yinka Afolabi, the youths distanced themselves from those
calling on the national chairman to resign.
“What we have in APC is a
leadership imbued with a sense of mission and a clear appreciation of the
aspirations of the members” the youths said.
They also called on the deputy
national publicity secretary, members of the Lagos State House of Assembly and
other critics of Oyegun to find more constructive things to do rather than
spending time and resources on maligning an honest leader who is doing his best
for the party and the country.
They stressed the need for unity
among the leaders so that the party can win the Ondo State governorship
election.
“Ondo State cannot afford to be
sentenced to another four years of ineptitude, drift and purposelessness” the
youths added.
