A leading member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, chief Sam
Nkire, has warned the party Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, and its
National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, against washing the party’s dirty
linen in public.
Chief Nkire gave the advice yesterday when he addressed reporters in
Abuja, calling on the party’s leaders; especially the two bigwigs whose
disagreement had been made public, to perish the idea of taking issues
to the press.
He said, “This can only make our opponents giggle at our misfortune.”
Nkire, a former National Chairman of the Progressive People’s
Alliance, PPA, pointed out that party administration was “like any other
corporate management effort which required that its image be considered
as important as the product of the corporate entity, if not more.”
He went further to note that party administration was not a task for a
select few or sole administrators but that it was a team work which
involved more public participation than what was available in some of
the world’s largest public-quoted companies.
The APC chieftain added that excluding the opinion of other leaders
and members of the party in decision making was bound to inflict
internal injury. He said, “if care is not taken, it could develop into a
noticeable external sore.”
He said in all his many years of political life and party
administration he had come to the singular conclusion that the shortest
route to achieving cohesion in any political party was “inclusiveness.”
Nkire added that the main reason why party administrations were set
up was solely for solving problems within and outside the party.
