Sack Oshiomhole now if you want to win 2019 elections, presidential aspirant Ogbonnia tells APC

Dr. SKC Ogbonnia, a former presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has called for the sack of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the APC if the party is serious about winning the 2019 general elections.

In a statement, Ogbonnia said: “ The calls for the removal of the national chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, are widening like wild fire. That is not surprising. Unless the APC wants to risk a crushing defeat in 2019, the party has nowhere to go but to let Mr. Oshiomhole go now.

“The APC has found itself in a situation where a crown was mistakenly placed on a clown, and the natives were expecting him to perform like a king.”

According to Ogbonna, Oshiomhole’s many sins include his inability to articulate a clear manifesto for the upcoming elections.

He also insisted that rather than face the election, Oshiomhole has engaged in exclusive politics that has seen the rise of autocracy, imposition of exorbitant nomination fees, leading to the ruin of internal party democracy within the party, adding that Oshiomhole has outlived his usefulness within the party and should resign.

“It is time this crisis ends. A growing multitude of party faithful is aggrieved. The party, as a matter of urgency, needs a visionary and result-oriented chairman, from any zone, who has the personality to assuage hurt feelings and the capacity to unite the party in time for the 2019 elections.”
