[Ex Vice President] Atiku hails Oyegun’s emergence as APC Chairman

 former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has described the emergence of the new chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, John Odigie-Oyegun as “a product of transparency, democracy and compromise.”

Oyegun and other members of the NWC were elected at the party’s convention in Abuja last Saturday and Atiku’s comment is believed to be in reaction to those who opposed the former’s candidature.

They include a former governor of Borno State, Ali Sheriff, who was reportedly backing the candidature of Tom Ikimi.

In a statement by his media office on Tuesday, Atiku lauded the party’s new national working committee, NWC, and advised the newly elected party officials to sustain the tempo and public enthusiasm, which greeted the birth of the opposition party in the country.
