- Some youths in APC have warned that Adams Oshiomhole personal battles may affect the reelection of President Buhari in 2019
- The youths claimed that the national chairman's fight with other smaller political parties might prevent them from supporting President Buhari in the elections
A youth group in the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the aegis of Progressives Youth Movement (PYM) has accused National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, of letting his personal battle affect the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group in a statement in Abuja by its Chairman, Mallam Usa Abdullahi and Secretary, Udo Akpandem, said some actions of the national chairman shows that he might be working against the reelection of the Buhari's administration.
He said: “We view with concern the threat by Oshiomhole to report political parties other than the APC, which are adopting and campaigning for President Buhari ahead of the 2019 elections.

“The national chairman of the APC, Oshiomhole had been reported lately as condemning the adoption of President Buhari by political parties of former members of the party which then adopted President Buhari and campaigned for him alongside the campaign for their new parties’ candidates. He threatened to report them to Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for fraud.
“We had expected that the national chairman would be happy that other political parties are adopting Buhari and campaigning for his re-election. It is illogical that a party chairman would be unhappy that other parties are campaigning for his presidential candidate.
“With his present stand, Oshiomhole is demonstrating that fighting his personal war against some perceived adversaries is more important to him than the successful election of President Buhari for a second term.
“We see a contrast in the stand of Oshiomhole and the posture of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which is encouraging members of other political parties through the platform of Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, to adopt and campaign for its presidential candidate.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Oshiomhole described the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as one lacking in internal democracy.
He alleged that the former ruling party printed only one nomination form in states where the sitting PDP governors were seeking reelection.
Legit.ng gathered that this was as the Nasarawa state governor, Umar Tanko Al-Makura, expressed optimism that the APC would go into the February general elections as a single fighting force.
