President Buhari has been left fuming after the national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole insinuated that President Buhari condoned indiscipline
The APC leader had earlier stated: “You know, we must return to internal discipline. You cannot purport to be an honourable minister and you act dishonourably. Nobody is greater than the party.
“If the President condones disrespect for his office, I will not condone disrespect for the party.
“And when we expel the minister, we will prevail on the President that he can’t keep in his cabinet people who have neither respect for his own decisions nor have respect for the party without which they would not have been ministers.
“There are no independent candidates in our system. Nobody, I emphasise, no minister is above the party and they have taken undue advantage of the President’s fatherly disposition.”
It is widely believed that these words were directed at the minister for labour, Chris Ngige, who has been involved in a spat with Oshiomhole.
According to the Vanguard, the President was left fuming at these remarks and a source for the Vanguard was quoted as saying: “The President was not happy with the comment of the APC Chairman because it portrayed the President as inefficient,”
