The All Progressives Congress, APC Governors have solicited President Muhammadu Buhari’s support either for or against party’s National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole.
The party on Wednesday descended into leadership crisis after an Abuja High Court barred Oshiomhole from acting as the national chairman following an application by some party members that the chairman had been suspended by his ward in Etsako, Edo State.
A Federal High Court sitting in Kano the following day granted retention of status quo. But the police subsequently sealed off the national secretariat in Abuja.
While some Governors are behind the move to get the party chairman out of office, others are opposed to the move. Both groups have been visiting the Presidential Villa for support.
While Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State visited the Villa to lobby the President to get the chairman out of office, it was reported that Governor Abdulahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State went to make a case for Oshiomhole and to seek the way out of the crisis.
