Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the National
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), has been on the hot seat since his party emerged as the ruling party in Nigeria. Seeing the former Permanent Secretary, last week, at his residence in GRA, Benin-City, you will behold
a troubled man. He bared his mind on the

Oyegun also spoke on other national issues. Excerpts: People are complaining that this APC government is slow. What is happening? No, I don’t think the government is slow. Like I always say, we are not talking of 16 years, we are talking of over 50 years. Since independence,
this country has been ruled by the same
tendencies. So, it is good to go with deliberate speed, deliberate steps, make as few mistakes as you can in the appointment that will come. So, I think that process is nearing the end now.
As you can see, appointments are being rolled out, the activities people thought were slow are taking place, even the implementation of some aspects of the program of the party that we promised are already underway.
I think all that is left now is the list of the
ministerial appointees and it will come out
anytime from now and we will be up and
running. So, there is the need for us to be
cautious, given the fact that this is our first experience in governance. There is the need to be careful given a totally different nature of our manifesto and the social welfare promises that
