National chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Oyegun, on Friday said he has withdrawn from the party’s chairmanship race.
Oyegun explained that he decided not to seek re-election in the forthcoming convention because he does not want to be part of the problems the party would have to solve.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, he said: “I do not intend to be part of the problem for APC to solve. It is for this reason that I hereby declare that I will not be seeking reelection as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“However, I will continue to perform my functions as the national chairman of the party till my tenure officially ends on Monday the 25th June when a new set of party executives will be inaugurated.”
