The member representing Mushin 11 Federal Constituency of Lagos State on the platform of ‎the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bolaji Yusuf Ayinla has backed the recent call by the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun should resign.

Tinubu had accused the APC chairman of betraying the trust on him.

Reacting to Tinubu’s statement, Ayinla said Oyegun was not qualified to lead the ruling party.

According to him, “Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu will not make a decision without verifying what he is saying. This is a man that has struggled and suffered to build this party and he has tried all his possible best, with his health, his life, he has put everything that needs to be put for the development of the party. Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“And somebody will now come overnight, blackmailing the party, running down the party under the false pretence that he is steering the ship of the party. What he has done is very good. It is good for the APC, it is good for Nigerians.

“It is always good, let people know where you belong to. If you are in PDP, let people know, if you in APC, let people know. You can’t be fooling yourself and be thinking that you are fooling all the nation, it shouldn’t be.

“Let the country know where you genuinely belong. We want a clean and clear person as a chairman who will steer the ship of the party. Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu has found out, he has checked, he has been informed, he has seen what transpired in the Ondo APC governorship primaries.

“This is a man that has helped many people and developing Nigeria to the level that we are now. We cannot afford to get somebody who is not sincere to lead Nigeria, to lead APC. I am in total support of Ahmed Bola Tinunbu.

“I am in support of the call for the resignation of the national chairman. If you are a leader of an organisation, and people working under you are not working genuinely, sincerely, if you tell them to resign, why not if not for transparency, for honesty, for sincerity, that is what he said, that is why I am supporting him.”
