The former national chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), John Oyegun, has accused Adams Oshiomhole of distracting the governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Oyegun said Oshiomhole was stoking the fire with the ultimate agenda of making Edo state ungovernable for the governor.

“Today, there are all kinds of rancour coming from Edo state. They all boil down to attempt by godfather and godfatherism that is heating up the polity in the state. Obaseki is the executive governor of Edo state and he should be allowed to exercise the powers vested in him by the law. To what purpose is this idea of the APC chairman putting the state under tension?" he queried.
Describing oshiomhole's actions against Obaseki as anti-party, Oyegun said the national chairman of APC handles the affairs of the party like an executive chairman.
“If his actions against Obaseki is not anti-party, someone should then explain to me what is anti-party.
“The problem of the APC is from a singular man, the national chairman who runs the party like an executive chairman. The idea of working singlehandedly and inducing the party members to endorse is the problem of the party," Oyegun said.
