Why Three Groups Want Oshiomhole Out, National Vice Chairman, Eta Reveals

THE South-South zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has not abandoned the embattled national chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the party’s national vice-chairman, South-South, Prince Hilliard Eta declared on Sunday.

His assurance came against the background of reports that Oshiomhole has been cast aside came as he accused three different interest groups in the polity of masterminding the campaign against Oshiomhole.

He cited those with interest in the 2023 presidential contest, elements from Edo State and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Debunking the news reports of Oshiomhole being abandoned, he said:

“I was surprised when I read that report that the South South has abandoned Oshiomhole.

“That is completely untrue and being fueled by those plotting evil against the national chairman. I am the National Vice Chairman of the party in the South South zone, and I know better. The political leader of the zone who is the Deputy Senate President (Ovie Omo-Agege) was not contacted by anyone to know the position of the zone.

Giving reasons for the campaign against Oshiomhole, he said:

“Their (anti Oshiomhole governors) main reason for the grand standing within the party is the seeming altercation in Edo state. But the most fundamental and outstanding reason for their war against Oshiomhole is who becomes the candidate of the party in the 2023 presidency.

“Who will be the Vice Presidential candidate, that is what they are battling. In fact some are working with some elements in the PDP to do this due to greed. But we are telling them that these selfish interest has capacity to implode the party and the truth is that all of us will regret it. It will not pay any body. These tendencies, nonchalant attitude of these people fighting has capacity to destroy the party and we all will be the losers.

“I happen to know that there is this move by some of these people to weaken the party and get some people out so they can form another political group to challenge the party in 2023. But that can be done without heating up the polity the way they are doing now.

“Those who love this party must call the troublemakers to order, whatever happens to this party between now and 2023 will affect the democratic fabrics of this country . So we must be mindful not just the corporate health of APC but that of the entire Nigerians.”
