National chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) John Odigie-Oyegun, has said that those anticipating and prophesizing the disintegration of the party as a result of the crisis happening within the party are jokers.

He further said that as a progressive party, the current challenges were anticipated but will be resolved soonest adding that the seeming delay by the APC-led Federal Government in appointment of ministers and other boards to what he described as the over 50 years alleged misrule ‘Not 16 as people have been saying,’ adding that it would take a little time for a President Muhammadu Buhari to correct the decay in the system which according to him will set the nation on the path of greatness.

Oyegun, who spoke weekend, at the 29th Coronation and 60th birthday of the Onojie of Opoji, His Royal Highness, Aidenojie Ehidiamen 1, also noted that the APC was experiencing turbulent times due to its new entrance in the leadership of the nation.

“It is totally a new experience for a progressive party to be in power and you know what progressive parties are like. They like debate, argument, hear all part of the story, this is exactly what we are going through now.

“It has brought stress there is no question about it but it has not changed our focus, the President is committed, doing his best and very soon things will stand back. It is unfortunate, nobody like quarrel within the party but if we have a quarrel then so be it, you quarrel, you sort out things and you move on and that is what is happening. But those thinking also that the APC will disintegrate as a result of the National Assembly crisis are jokers because we will come out stronger and better,” he stated.

“people are saying that we are slow but we should all know that President Buhari intends to fulfil his electioneering promises and he does not intend to do it in a hurry because of the past years of misrule,” Oyegun added.
