They said: “Our message is clear and simple, Oshiomhole must leave. Enough is enough, he must go. He has not been using his diplomacy to solve the problems in the party.
“This has cost us to lose a lot of states such as Oyo State, Zamfara State, Bauchi State, and other states,” Abubakar Alihu, who described himself as a member of the party and one of the leaders.
“What happened in Zamfara really hurt us because we won the election initially but the court gave the verdict to the PDP due to the fact that APC chairman messed up in some aspects and failed to tackle those aspects.”
