APC Chieftain Counters Tinubu, Says Crisis Caused By ‘Osho Virus’

Published

Claims by Bola Tinubu of a ‘2023 virus’ being responsible for the agitation against Adams Oshiomhole’s leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC have been countered by another party chieftain, Mr. Osita Okechukwu who instead blamed the foibles of the chairman.

Okechukwu, the director-general of the Voice of Nigeria, VON in a statement on Monday gave ten examples he said proved that Comrade Oshiomhole brought the crisis in the party upon himself.

He noted among others, the party’s losses in the recent governorship election which according to him helped to revive the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP which according to him was dying before Oshiomhole’s emergence as national chairman.

“Most importantly lack of diligent scrutiny of essential documents of the candidate, or One Man-Show, points to Osho-Virus crass negligence and incompetence

Tinubu had in a statement on Sunday denounced the agitations against Oshiomhole who he said had done well as national chairman blaming what he described as a 2023 virus for the agitations.

Countering on Monday, Okechukwu cited Oshiomhole’s failures to include among others, said:

“Revival and Resurrection of collapsing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) structure, a political party in 2018 was ravaged by internecine intra-party feud; to win more states like Adamawa, Bauchi, Zamfara, and Sokoto, all strongholds of APC.

“Second revival of PDP is evidenced in the Bayelsa State imbroglio. It is our considered belief that no sane national chairman of a prominent political party would submit the name of an incumbent Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to be Deputy Governor, without evaluating the strategic cost to the party.

“Most importantly lack of diligent scrutiny of essential documents of the candidate, or One Man-Show, points to Osho-Virus crass negligence and incompetence.

“It is on record that Comrade Oshiomhole in his infinite self-survival-instinct ratified the Lagos gubernatorial primary election and which was not conducted by the APC Gubernatorial Primary Panel set up by him, but by Asiwaju’s men and did not ratify that conducted by Senator Amosu’s men at Ogun State? Is this kind of atrocity 2023 Virus or Osho-Virus?

“Secondly Comrade ordered State Chapters to choose between Direct and Indirect method of primary election only to change the choice made by States depending on his whims and caprices. For instance he changed that of Enugu State from indirect to direct in the midst of gubernatorial election.

“Thirdly, is 2023 or Osho-Virus responsible for favours Comrade dispenses at will, “That El-Rufai was the one who came to me crying to help him get rid of Shehu Sani and to replace him with his boy, Uba Sani and I sacrificed my comradeship with Shehu to please him.”  – Comrade Oshiomhole speaking.

“In his classical double standard paradigm he glossed over the suspension of his Ward; whereas he ratified that of Ward suspension of Barister Inua Abdulkadir, vice chairman North West. Is that 2023 or Osho-Virus?

“Covert use of the 2018 primary elections to empower his Edo Peoples Movement (EPM) native political structure. Not only did EPM members populate all state panels more than any other state, but they also headed about 10, as well as the most revered Appeal Panel.

“This way he not only violated the Federal Character Principle, but also denied most states the golden opportunity of heading at least one panel. Is this gross nepotism 2023-Virus?”
