APC Youths Stage Protest Against Tinubu At National Secretariat
Youths under the aegis of the All Progressives Congress, APC Youth Democratic Frontiers, on Tuesday protested at the party’s national secretariat demanding that the party’s leaders, Bola Tinubu, should stop harassing the National Chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun.
Recall that Tinubu recently demanded the resignation of Odigie-Oyegun for his alleged role in the choice of Rotimi Akeredolu as the APC governorship candidate in the November governorship election in Ondo.
The youths asked Tinubu to leave the national chairman alone and concentrate his political activities in Lagos State where he was governor.

The group’s National Coordinator, Salahudeen Lukman, who addressed journalists, said its members could no longer fold their arms and allow party feudal lords to expropriate its ethics simply on regional nomenclature aimed at usurping the national interest.
“It should be stated categorically that we are no longer comfortable with the whims and caprices of an orchestrated Jagaban resident in Bourdilion, Lagos and directed at misdirecting our progressive party simply to achieve egocentric empirical relevance,” he said.
“Let us state on a sad note that this overbearing tendency on the part of Tinubu is not limited to the federal level alone, he meddles in the affairs of even states that are not his home states.
“What we learnt is that Tinubu is attacking these aides of Mr. President because he believes he should have been the one who makes appointments into those positions as opposed to what happened when Mr. President acted in national interest and cohesion to appoint tested and trusted individuals,” the coordinator alleged.
