S/East APC leaders pass vote of confidence on Oshiomhole

All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-east zone of the country yesterday passed a vote of confidence on the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, saying that those criticizing his style of leadership are being sponsored by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The South-east APC leaders were reacting to comments by some persons they described as “hired writers” and a former member of the party in Abia state, Chief Sam Nkire, who claimed that people were leaving the party because of the leadership style of Oshiomhole whom he described as being too militant.
However, in a statement signed by a member of the Board of Trustees of the APC, Chief Ayim Yerere, it said, Oshiomhole’s coming as national chairman had enlivened APC as a party and it has occurred to the opposition PDP that they will soon experience their final burial in the country and that is why they are sponsoring misleading articles and describing Oshiomhole as a combustive person.
According to the statement : “The attention of the South- east APC has been drawn to comments credited to one Sam Nkire, a former member of our party who recently joined those who defected to the PDP from our party and some writers recruited by the PDP to disparage the name of our national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
“We want to state clearly that the entire party in the South East passed a vote of confidence in his leadership and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
“Since Oshiomhole came on board, our party has become more attractive and has taken its position as a ruling party.
We are aware that PDP and their cohorts are no longer comfortable with Oshiomhole who will ensure they go into oblivion.
