APC: We didn’t lose Oyo, Imo, Bauchi, Adamawa, Zamfara because electorates prefer PDP
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said high level of indiscipline among some of its members contributed to it’s failure to retain Oyo, Imo, Bauchi, Adamawa and recently Zamfara state in the last general election.
The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa Onilu, said some peculiar issues within the state chapters of the party accounted for it’s loss, saying it is not because the electorates prefer the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said
“If Oyo, Imo, Bauchi, Adamawa and Zamfara States were taken one by one, it will be discovered that there were peculiar issues in the respective states that accounted for how the APC lost them rather than the voters preferring the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).”
Onilu added,
“I would put the painful outcomes broadly under two reasons. One is indiscipline on the part of some members of our party in most of the states. The second reason is that the party leadership did not do much between 2015 and 2018 to move the party from being an amalgam of different political parties to become a truly blended progressive political party.”
The APC spokesperson added that the next three years are very important as the APC under the leadership of the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, will continue to strengthen compliance with the rules, build support structures for democracy, ensures discipline across board, and deliver good governance for the benefits of all Nigerians.
“We expect members who have different agenda to join their kind in PDP. We will welcome with open arms, those who share our progressive ideals, so that by 2022, we will have a party whose members are truly progressives,” Onilu said
