The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and the party chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, have been in a heated debate. Tinubu called for the resignation of Odigie-Oyegun, who was involved in the party's governorship primary in Ondo State. Odigie-Oyegun, who lost his ward to the Peoples Democratic Party in the election, refused to take issue with Tinubu, who he held in high esteem. Odigie-Oyegun's meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari revealed a difference of opinion between the two, but he defended his decision not to resign. Odigie-Oyegun denied being behind the protests against Tinubu but promised to investigate the matter. He said all the events in the party's primary election in Ondo State were contained in the report of the chairman of the primary committee. He said that the party would only consider a change of mind if the result is generating controversy.
