The Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) Enugu State on Monday appealed to the newly elected national chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole not to work on hearsay, particularly in the southeast zone where some members without electoral value are parading their family members and cronies only for political offices.
Rather, the pro-Buhari group enjoined the Oshiomhole-led National Executive Committee (NEC) to carefully set up an assessment committee which would move round the country for critical updates on the strengths and weaknesses of the party.
BSO made the appeal in a congratulatory message to Oshiomhole and his colleagues in the newly elected National Executive Committee (NEC) for their election to lead APC in the next four years.
The organization, however, expressed the hope that the assignment of this proposed committee would put in the picture, the true approval rating of APC in the country.
In the congratulatory message by the State Secretary, Godwin Onwusi , which was distributed to newsmen in Enugu on Monday, the group re-emphasised that Comrade Oshiomhole should avoid working on hearsay, especially in the South East, where some pretenders with no electoral value are parading only their family members and cronies for political offices.
According to Onwusi, “We of the Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) Enugu State Chapter, profusely congratulate, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and his colleagues in the newly elected National Executive Committee for their election to lead the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next four years.
“BSO, is thrilled by the unprecedented consensus, starting from President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, our national leader Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, to the entire leadership, membership and delegates to the national convention, which led to Comrade’s seamless election as chairman.”
He further said: “May we sincerely appeal to the Comrade Chairman not to work on hearsay, especially in the South East, where some leaders are wittingly or unwittingly de-marketing and eroding the electoral value of the APC by parading only their family members and cronies for political offices. If they are allowed with their greed in the forthcoming primary elections the electoral fortunes of the APC will suffer unnecessarily."
“While praying for the success of the new Executive, we at the same time urge Comrade Oshiomhole to consider as a matter urgent national importance to carefully set up an Assessment Committee to go round the country for critical update on the current strength and weaknesses, which will tell the true story of the approval ratings of our great party.”
He used the opportunity to enjoin all party members to rally round the new executive to make sure that President Muhammadu Buhari clinches victory in the 2019 presidential elections.
