The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, John Odigie Oyegun, has stated that he will not resign from his position, as mandated by the party's leader, Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu had called for Oyegun’s resignation over his role in the emergence of Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu as the APC's candidate in the upcoming governorship election in Ondo State.
Speaking on Tuesday, Oyegun denied having any rift with Tinubu.
“There is no rift with Asiwaju we have difference of opinion, difference of perception and I think that is normal. Yes, I agree that the nature of the statement was a bit harsh.
“The method of getting rid of a national chairman if that is what I will call it, are spelt out in the constitution. They don’t take place on the pages of newspapers.
Asked why the party is not calling for the National Executive Committee to meet on the issues, he said: “it’s proper for them to meet and they will all meet at the appropriate time.”
