Why I Visited APC Chairman, Oyegun – Atiku

                                         

Former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress ( APC), Atiku Abubakar, has explained the purpose of his visit to the national chairman of the party, Chief John Oyegun, at the secretariat of the party on Monday.

In a statement by his media office in Abuja yesterday, Atiku denied that his visit to the party secretariat was a response to summon by the leadership of the party as widely reported.

 According to the statement, Atiku said: “My visit to the national secretariat of our great party was to rub minds with the party hierarchy, and it was a kind routine for a chieftain of the party.

“I was neither summoned nor queried by the party on any issue as is being speculated. Rather, my visit was at my own behest.

“As a party chieftain, I owe it a duty to my party to appraise challenges within the structures of the party and also proffer suggestions on how to manage those challenges.

" I urge you all to discountenance any malicious insinuations about my visit to the party secretariat.”
