BEVERLY HILLS, June 07, (THEWILL) – The All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum of State Chairmen have passed a vote of confidence on the party’s National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, saying he is the best man to lead the party.
Ben Nwonye, the Secretary of the forum and Chairman, APC Enugu State Chapter, who spoke on behalf of the forum made this known while speaking with journalists on Thursday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
He fielded questions after the state chairmen had a closed door meeting with Oshiomhole and members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
He added that in spite of recent negative reports on Oshiomhole, he remains the man with a strong will to lead the party at the moment.
“We met with the national chairman of our great party and members of the NWC and we touched on relevant issues on the party.
“We discussed in details on the party’s unity and at the end of the meeting, we were fully informed on the party’s issues and unity.
“Based on the information we have and the readiness of the party and the national chairman to lead the country and the party to the next level, we have unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Oshiomhole and the NWC,” he said.
Nwonye described recent negative reports making the rounds on Oshiomhole as spurious allegations meant to malign not just his person, but President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC as a party.
He added that Oshiomhole remains a strong man and the party’s national chairman, saying that he has all it takes to lead the APC to the next level.
Nwonye said it was regrettable that those that were against Oshiomhole started their campaign against him just as Buhari was to be inaugurated for a second term in office.
