APC CRISIS: It Is Dirty, Annoying & Crude To Say I Have Been Bribed - Oyegun

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress , APC, Chief John Oyegun has denied taking bribe to support the agenda of lawmakers that became principal officers of the 8th Assembly, noting that he never did and will never do because he is comfortable enough and does not need their money at 76. Below is what Oyegun said when the leadership of the South-East, South-South Professionals paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja yesterday.

“How many people know me personally, It is annoying, it is dirty, it is crude‎, it is unbecoming and it can only be people who are totally devoid of conscience at any level of humanity that can do things of that nature,” he said.

“There is nothing they have not said about me but when you ask what has the man done, one of their reports said the present executive can not win elections in 20‎19.

“Good Lord! You’ve not even finished 2015, you’re talking about 2019.

“The one that annoys me is the attempt to rubbish 75 solid years of a character that I’ve put together. They said ‎I take gratification, gratification to what purpose?

“The only people who can say that are the people who don’t know my background or history, I was just over 30 when I started joining teams that were buying aircraft from Holland and Seattle in the US.

“That could not corrupt me. I was on the board of the Railways, NPA and the rest of them. If all these did not make me corrupt, how can I at 76 take money, money from who to do what?,” he said.
