Anti-Oyegun protesters storm APC headquarters, demand his removal

Some protesters on the platform of Save APC and Democracy Youth Vanguard have called for the removal of John Oyegun, national chairman of the ruling party.

The protesters, who stormed the headquarters of the ruling party on Monday, displayed placards which read: ‘Remove Oyegun now’, ‘Stop violating party constitution’, ‘Audit APC account now’ among others.

Oyegun, who was seen making his way into the secretariat during protest, appeared to be unruffled.

Speaking with journalists on Monday, Peter Oyewole, leader of the group, said if Oyegun is not removed, he would continue to “rubbish” the efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Oyewole said the level of “corruption and imposition going on under Oyegun is alarming”.

“Since 2015, the budget of APC has not been made public. Since 2015, the ruling party has not held crucial meetings. These are enough reasons to remove the national chairman. We demand the removal of Oyegun now.

“We are also saying enough this enough to imposition of candidates at all level by Oyegun-led NWC. The imposition in APC today is a mockery of the anti-corruption war of president Buhari.

“If Oyegun is not removed he will continue to rubbish the efforts of the president, especially in fighting corruption because you can not give what you don’t have.

“If Oyegun is not removed within the next one month, the APC youths will picket this national secretariat and make a no-go-area for everybody.”
