The southwest APC spokesman noted in a statement that many of the PDP national chairmen never completed their tenure, due to the protracted crisis.
APC has strong mechanism for crisis management
The former lawmaker said APC is better in crisis management, urging the PDP to learn from its crisis resolution mechanism.
He said:
”PDP has never produced a national chairman that successfully completed the tenure of office since its creation in 1998, that is, 23 years ago.
“From Chief Solomon Lar to Sunday Awoniyi to Barnabas Gemade to Audu Ogbe to Ahmadu Ali to Vincent Ogbulafor to John Nwodo to Bamanga Turkur to Adamu Muazu to Ali Modu Sheriff to Ahmed Makahfi to Uche Secondus to Yemi Akinwonmi back to Uche Secondus again, back to Akinwonmi, the stories the same.”
Oladapo noted that some chairmen were removed on account of corruption and forgery, while some were removed at gunpoint without any offence.
He added:
“Count the number of the PDP national chairmen and divide by the years of existence of the PDP, then, it will not be out of place to describe PDP as “one year, one national chairman.”
The former lawmaker stated that APC which was created in 2013, produced its first interim national chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, who successfully completed assignments and handed over to another national chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun.
He added that Oyegun successfully completed tenure and handed over to another national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomole who had a truncated tenure of Office.
