NATIONAL chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Oyegun, has declared that the party does not feel threatened by talks of the formation of a mega party that will wrestle power from the APC, advising proponents of the mega party to focus on providing formidable opposition to his party.

The former governor of Edo State and also absolved a leader of the party, Sen Bola Tinubu, and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar from the rumoured formation of the planned mega party, recalling that he had met with some of the leaders of the APC, including the leadership of the National Assembly and the former Vice-President.

Oyegun, who spoke with journalists at his house in Benin City on Tuesday, challenged any Nigerian to locate one of the problems facing the country that was ameliorated by the former ruling party through Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said, “We don’t feel threatened at all. I don’t know where the name mega party suddenly came from in the lexicon of politics in this country. When two people gather to have a meeting, it is a mega meeting.

We don’t feel threatened, we will in fact, encourage a mega party because with the gradual collapse of PDP, we want a party that can make us sit upright and be on our toes in of delivery of services to our people.

“We are focused on our mission made difficult by the current economic situation worldwide and compounded by the collapse of the oil market.

“We are reforming this country, reforming it ethically, morally and economically by building a fresh economic base which will no longer depend on an extractive industry which does not involve the people.

“Now, we are pushing agriculture, most Nigerians are in the field of agriculture. We are pushing extractive minerals, which virtually all over the country and a lot of Nigerians will be involved in that enterprise.

“We are pushing power generation and distribution because that will also energise the small and medium scale industry. So, we want an economy in which most Nigerians are participants, it is no longer oil which is highly technologically based.

“So, it is a different reality we are trying to build and establish. It involved sacrifices, hard work, but what is necessary today is that we are focused.

“What is real today is that the government of Buhari is ionate about seeing this thing to its logical conclusion.

“This nation must change and the change is so fundamental that there is no question at all that a lot of people are going through temporary hardship, but the situation is such that tomorrow, everybody will be glad that we pursued this line of development in spite of the problems we are facing currently.”

From PDP to APC to NEW MEGA PARTY... No difference, just the same old politicians practicing "shifting cultivation"

Before nko? PDP too said the same when. APshit was formed in 2013

Chairman without brain

Well said mr chairman. Nobody is denying the fact that a lot of Nigerians are ing through hardtimes(which was caused by the previous istration), but this is the sacrifice we have to make. And tomorrow I'm very optimistic that Nigerians will rejoice.

The era of silly transformation, corruption, terrorism, impunity, executive/judicial/legislative recklessness is gone. Nigerians from all works of life should this government which want the very best for every Nigerian, a government that wants to create wealth for her citizens, a government that is focus and have goals.


APC might not be the Moses that will take Nigerians to the promise land, but APC is still a hundred times better than the corrupt pdp. PDP was the Pharaoh that inflicted all sorts of pains and agony on Nigeria/Nigerians.

We can only get better with APC on the long run, but with PDP, our country's future will be very dark.

U sure?

Said a Party Chairman who cant deliver his constituency to APC in the last election in his state. Speaks a volume about his inefficiencies and lack of political relevance in the scheme of things. Who even takes him serious anyways. Enjoy your short fame and power while it last and use your position to provide jobs,roads,water and other basic infrastructures for your people and offcourse chop while you still can.

Why is that apc do blame pdp for recession in nigeria to?but i want you to that 85% apc now are from pdp,saraki pdp,dogara pdp etc.
Apc shuld do something new and stop blaming past goverment.

Drabeey was HERE

Oh!, so it's true there's gonna be a mega party. I expect this man not to even acknowledge it at all, rather to refer to it as alledged.

When i hear things like this i know that fear is locking up somewhere in the heart.
