BENIN—IMMEDIATE past Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, Mr Samson Osagie, has described as mischievous and senseless the call in some quarters for the resignation of national chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, over the crisis bedevilling the National Assembly.

He argued that those calling for Oyegun’s resignation could be agents of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, noting that one of the problems in the PDP was the incessant change of leadership which led to the instability of the party.

He called on all those nursing the idea to embrace the conflict resolution mechanism of the party to resolve all issue, so the party could focus on assisting President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver on his promises to Nigerians.

“Chief Oyegun is a humble gentle man committed to the ideals of the change mantra of the APC therefore he must not be rubbished by elements who are being pushed by their ambitions. As Nigerians we need an enduring democratic culture where all interest will coexist and be subject to national interest.

“The national chairman has been a consistent progressive politician who will not do anything to dent his image. I urge those calling for his removal to thread with caution so that we will not destroy the change Nigerians are anxiously expecting from this new APC government,” he stated.
