The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption (PACAC), Professor Itse Sagay, publicly referred to Oyegun and other leaders of the All progressive Congress as “come and chop” politicians.
The war of words between Sagay and the party leaders started last week. Sagay addressed APC as a failed party in an interview with The Nation.
The spokesperson of the party replied and called him a “rogue elephant” who President Buhari dragged out of his inevitable obscurity.
The Professor recently reacted to the statement of the spokesperson saying he is an accomplished man who does not require an appointment unlike the party leaders who are come and chop politicians.
His statement;
“I am an accomplished man long before any appointment. I am not a “come and chop” politician like you lot.”
“My loyalty is to the president and not to the party which has continued to fail under the leadership of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.”
“Firstly, I am not a ‘come and chop’ person as you are. I did not come to ‘chop’; so the party is not doing me any favor. You are the ones that have come to ‘chop.”
“Secondly, my criticism of APC is not against President Muhammadu Buhari who I think is a man of great honor, integrity and whom I admire and who inspires me. I took this job because of Buhari and Osinbajo, who I admire greatly.”
“The people I am referring to in my criticism are John Odigie-Oyegun and one Bolaji Abdullahi, who is (Senate President Bukola) Saraki’s Man Friday.”
“They are dining with the devil who wants to destroy the party. They are appeasers, who are acting the way (former) British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, appeased Adolf Hitler and in the process, they will destroy the party”
“They are weak and unable to confront evil and they will end up helping that Hitler to destroy the party. What is APC without Buhari, Osinbajo and Tinubu? The Oyegun-led executive, which is doing a policy of appeasement, will destroy the party.”
