Mr Sunny Moniedafe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that the crisis within the ruling party will not be solved by removing the party’s national chairman, Chief John Oyegun.

NAIJ.com notes that the party chieftain stated that it would be a mistake to remove Oyegun.

He stated: “That would be a mistake if you remove the leadership of the party right now. It would be a big mistake because we know we have challenges.”

He added: “But the leadership right now is surmounting them one after the other. Now, two wrongs don’t make a right. If you claim that the current leadership is not doing right, removing him is not the solution.”

Moniedafe chided detractors of the national chairman, for tabling the matter in public instead of seeking to resolve the issue internally.

He stated: “I tell you that if you are a party leader, you don’t bring out the dirty linen of the party in public. You find a way to resolve it internally. That should not dictate the mood of any other person.

“We have challenges, we must agree that these challenges are there and they are surmountable.

“One way not to solve it is to try to remove the leadership; because before you stabilise, there would have been more damage.

“So I appeal with anybody who has issues, to please calm down.”
