Buhari Urged To Ignore Calls For Oshiomhole’s Removal

A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Ibrahim Emokpaire, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore calls for the removal of Adams Oshiomhole from his position as the party’s National Chairman.

Emokpaire, a former APC national chairmanship aspirant, made the appeal in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Saturday in Abuja as he said that Oshiomhole cannot be removed through street protests.

He claimed that Oshiomole was “a victim of 5th columnists, who were ceaselessly maligning him and bent on subverting the party”.

The APC member said that the group was not concerned about the damage they were causing the party, adding that if they were allowed to continue, the party may eventually disintegrate.

He said that concerned members of the party could no longer pretend that an unjustifiable war of attrition was currently being waged against its chairman and by extension, the party.

Emokpaire reminded those behind the protest to remove Oshiomole as APC national chairman that the party was “a labour of love”, adding that such phenomenon were not easily repeated.

He noted that many patriotic Nigerians, both at home and in the Diaspora, laboured to build the APC to what it is today.

Emokpaire alleged that the same people who championed the removal of the party’s former national chairman (Chief John Oyegun), on account of his age, were back to throw out Oyegun’s successor.

He said that it was time for APC leadership to turn the spotlight on them in the interest of the party.

“My advice to those who are bent on sabotaging our party chairman is that we should not join the opposition in bringing our party and government down,’’ he said.
