The National Chairman of APC, Chief John Odiegie-Oyegun responded to the accusation made against him by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Odigie-Oyegun’s acknowledgement came after he held a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Friday.
Asiwaju Tinubu has accused Chief Oyegun of undermining his efforts at reconciling aggrieved party members as instructed by President Muhammdu Buhari.

In his response made available to the press, Chief Oyegun letter read, “I thank you for your letter dated February 21, 2018, for your prayers and good wishes for my health. I wish you the same and pray that our good God keeps you strong and grants you His peace. Let me once again formally congratulate you on the peace-making assignment Mr. President has entrusted you with.
“It is most challenging but I believe you will ultimately justify the confidence reposed in you by Mr. President. In this, you have my full support. Be assured, dear Asiwaju, of my highest regards now and always.â€
Tinubu had in his letter accused the party chairman of undermining his assignment. He accused the APC National Chairman of positioning himself in active opposition to the goal of resuscitating the progressive and democratic nature of the APC.
Although details of the party chairman’s meeting with the President on Friday were sketchy as of the time of filing this report, it was gathered that the President prevailed on the National Chairman to cooperate with the former Lagos State governor.

Odigie-Oyegun arrived the Presidential Villa at about 3 pm and left at about 3.50pm. Apparently aware that State House correspondents would seek to hear from him over the letter, the party chairman avoided them.
As soon as he sighted the journalists who were waiting for him at their operational base inside the Council Chambers Briefing Room, Odigie-Oyegun increased his pace as he found his way out of the premises.
