APC National Chairman John Odigie-Oyegun has expressed his reservations
on the governorship election in Bayelsa state which was concluded on
Saturday January 9th. Speaking after a meeting
with President Buhari at
the villa yesterday January 11th, Oyegun said the party was saddened at
the level of bloodbath witnessed during the election.
"The Bayelsa election has come and gone. We have very deep regrets that
there was so much blood that was spilt in the process. We have a lot of
reservations, some of which our candidate has very eloquently
expressed.”he said
He also spoke on the current fight against corruption by the current administration
"The APC is not in any way apologetic. We promised change and there is a
lot of rot in the system. This must be cleansed and whoever and
whatever ox is being gored, where ever the tree is going to fall, so,
let it be. We must get use to the fact that in the process of cleansing
this nation, there is going to be a lot of bullets to bite. The APC has
not been in office at national level for the last 10 to 16 years. So,
the issue of whether somebody is PDP or not PDP does not arise. We have a
nation to cleanse. The president has committed himself to that and that
and we should fight it whatever way it comes. We are not being
apologetic about that at all. It has nothing to do with witch-hunting.
It just happens that the dramatis personae of the period all happened to
be on one side of the political divide.”he said
