Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress<\/a> (APC), Mr John Oyegun, on Thursday spoke on the crisis rocking his party in Edo, describing it as \u201ctragic and unfortunate\u201d.<\/p>\n

Oyegun, who was first Executive Governor of Edo, spoke with newsmen on the sideline of the 22nd investiture of the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM) in Lagos.<\/p>\n

He said that the rift between Gov. Godwin Obaseki and APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomole, brought to fore the dangers of godfatherism in the nation\u2019s politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen principles are involved in an argument, it is very hard to wade in, especially expecting that one party surrenders principle to another.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a good thing to mentor somebody, to have an elder, more experienced to help bring up the younger one.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when you have mentored him, and he has attained maturity and growth, do not keep treating him like a child,\u201d Oyegun said.<\/p>\n

He, however, revealed that efforts were ongoing to address the matter and bring peace to the party\u2019s affairs of the state.<\/p>\n

Oyegun lauded the performance of the state governor and reiterated his support for the great stride the state was recording.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
