SUPPORTERS of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun otherwise known as “The Oyegunarians” have described the allegation by the State Chairman of the party, Mr. Anslem Ojezua that Oyegun mutilated and deleted 115 names from the delegate list of the recent APC governorship primaries as false, baseless and unfounded.

The group described Ojezua’s outburst as unbridled insults, as they reminded him of the process he passed through before he became the State Chairman of APC.

A statement in Benin yesterday signed by Mr. Osazee Okundia, Secretary-General of the group said, “We read, with grave concern, the unwarranted attack on our National Leader, Chief John Odigie Oyegun. Amongst other insults are the spurious allegations that the APC National Chairman mutilated the Delegates list that was used for the just concluded APC Governorship Primaries in Edo State.

“Ojezua also threw caution to the dogs by alluding that Chief Oyegun deleted 115 names from the Delegates list, in addition to accusing him of working to thwart the process, all of which are false, unfounded and baseless!

“We believe that Ojezua’s conduct is akin to that of his pay master, who has no respect for elders! We also believe that Anslem Ojezua is incompetent, and lacks the mental capacity to function as Party Chairman. Hence the Governor has practically been doubling as the Party’s State Chairman since Ojezua stepped in to act.”
