APC Demands Former Chairman to Pay N150m Debt Amid Political Tensions

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has requested its former National Chairman, John Odigie Oyegun, to settle a N150 million debt, citing outstanding loans and membership dues incurred during his time in the party. Oyegun, who served as APC National Chairman from 2014 to 2018, has recently aligned with the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) and criticized the APC leadership, particularly Bola Tinubu.

The APC Chairman in Edo State, Jarrett Tenebe, confirmed the debt demands, alleging that Oyegun had failed to respond to multiple settlement requests. Oyegun, on the other hand, dismissed the claims as baseless and politically motivated.

The situation reflects growing tensions between the APC and ADC as the political landscape intensifies ahead of the 2027 elections. Additionally, recent political shifts in River State involving figures like Prof.

Nentawe Yilwatda and Wike Fubara have added to the political turmoil in Nigeria.
