Oshiomhole’s Leadership Approach Spells Doom For APC – Itse Sagay

By Akinwale Kasali

Itse Sagay, SAN, and Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, has lambasted the leadership style and approaches of All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman, Aliyu Adams Oshiomhole predicting that if not checked, he spells dooms for the party.

Sagay added that the APC is on the verge of losing control of some states due to the attitude and approaches of Oshiomhole.

He observed that the aggressive behaviour and approach of Oshiomhole, towards members made the party lose control of some states, and if not handled in a more civilised manner, it will have a huge effect on the party.

Sagay revealed that on several occasions he has called Oshiomhole to order, but the former Edo State Governor ignored his advice on the need to be less combative in dealing with APC members.

The PACAC Chairman said: “I have advised Oshiomhole, rather unsuccessfully, to stop being combative, to stop punching and all these aggressive behaviour.

“In a leadership position, you need to stoop to conquer, you need to be restrained.

“Even when people are wrong and you want to correct them, you need to show that you are not after humiliating them and that you will work with them to correct things; not to be aggressive, threatening and engaging in pugilistic method.

“I told him this but he ignored it. Because of his aggression, we have lost quite a number of states.”
