“Our party is greater than any individual or group, So let us come together and face our common goal or remaining the most efficient and trusted party in our clime..”
The group said it was protesting in solidarity with the chairman and expose a sinister plot by some conservative APC governors to frustrate the Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee and truncate President Buhari’s re-election bid.
It vowed to take necessary legal measures to ensure that such persons do not succeed.
Sikiru said: “Following the background that Gov. Akeredolu desperation to destroy APC and president Buhari’s re-election bid is waxing stronger day by day, Federation of Buhari Support Group in its indepth investigations observed that lot of damage has been done underground by the conservative Governors to thwart the bright chances of the party in the forthcoming general elections.
“Moreover, the group in its previous submission had raised alarm on several occasions that Gov. Akeredolu of Ondo State has determined to fight three personalities in APC, President Buhari, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Adams Oshiomhole, Mr. Governor of Ondo State is not happy with all the strategies by APC NWC to reunite the party with a view to bringing democracy to door-step of party members by the Introduction and adoption of direct primaries for all elections.
“As it is in Ondo State, President Mohammadu Buhari cannot get 10% votes comes 2019 general elections due to demarketing policies of Gov. Akeredolu. Instead for this accidental Governor to focus on projects that will better the lots of good people of Ondo State, he is busy running from North to South collecting signatures of governors and party chairmen of various states to pass vote of no confidence on Adams Oshiomhole.
“Moreso, Gov Akeredolu is not contesting for any election this time around. It clearly shown that Governor Akeredolu does not care in the success or victory of APC in all election come 2019.
“It was revealed that Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu is the leader of the new conservative movement within APC coupled with the assistance of Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State and Gov. Bindow of Adamawa State.
“However, it was gathered at the weekend, that the sudden death of tenure elongation for their preferred man and former Chairman, Chief John Oyegun, and consequent emergence of Comr Adams Oshiomhole as national chairman to restructure the party toward the path of ethics and responsibility is their major headache since all these governors most especially the gang leader, Gov Akeredolu was a beneficiary of Odigie Oyegun style of impunity and lawlessness when he was the National Chairman.
“It is evident that Gov Akeredolu is purely a mole in APC, it would be recalled that he worked alongside with Gov Kayode Fayemi and Gov Amosun against the party’s choice in Osun election. Right now, he has instructed all his loyalists and cabinet members in Ondo State to work against all party’s candidates in Ondo during the general election.
“We believe in the leadership of the party ably led by Adams Oshiomhole and his determination to position the party for landslide victory in the forth coming elections.
Our party is greater than any individual or group, so let us come together and face our common goal or remaining the most efficient and trusted party in our clime. Together we can make this happen.”
