Why We Gave Oshiomhole 10 Days To Address Our Concerns – APC State Chairmen

The Forum of All Progressives Congress (APC) state chairmen has
given a 10-day ultimatum to the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole-led
National Working Committee (NWC) to address their concerns. The
forum’s chairman, Ali Bukar Bolari, told Daily Trust that the
ultimatum started from September 23 this year.

He said members of the NWC are expected to address their
concerns, including the neglect of members of the party after the
2019 general elections.

“ We want the NWC to take care of our members who laboured to
ensure the victory of our party in last general elections through
appointments,” he said in a phone interview.

The forum had in a communiqué issued and signed by Bolari and
the forum’s secretary, Ben Nwoye, on Tuesday, said they were
protesting against poor reward system in the party, abandonment of
founding fathers, neglect of the entire party structure, and the
failure to produce a substantive National Secretary after the exit
of Mai Mala Buni.

They expressed concern over the lukewarm attitude of party
leadership to the plight of either dead or kidnapped colleagues in
various states. They complained against their neglect in respect of
federal appointments and absence of national secretary who, among
others, should be liaising with the Secretary to the Government of
the Federation (SGF) in the constitution of boards of federal
agencies and parastatals.

The state chairmen said the open letter option was considered
after previous entreaties to the Progressive Governors’ Forum and
the leadership of the National Assembly yielded no positive
results.
