A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Commissioner for Special Projects in Imo State, Comrade Simon Ebegbulem has described the Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum, Salihu Lukeman as a fifth columnist,  playing a hatchet man’s job to scuttle the expected victory of the APC candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu in the September 19, governorship election in Edo State.

In a statement made available to journalists,  Ebegbulem who also is a member of the APC media Committee in the forthcoming election, urged Lukeman to defect to the PDP rather than remaining in the APC and  hiding under the guise of his hatred for the immediate past national chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to perpetrate his anti party activities.

According to the statement: “It is now incontrovertible that the Director General (DG) of the Progressives Governors Forum, PGF, Dr Salihu Lukeman, is a fifth columnist, playing the hatchet man’s job from the inside.

“For one, it is no longer news that Governor Godwin Obaseki, having defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is in vain, trying to curry the support of selected All Progressives Congress (APC) governors, to endorse his re-election bid on the platform of the opposition party. 

“To all self respecting and loyal members of our party, the APC, this should be seen as an aberration, but not so for Dr Lukman, who continues to display wanton disregard for the party’s efforts at consolidating on its electoral gains.

“His hatchet man’s job right under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, comes in the guise of picking on the immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole. Dr Lukman has remained a paid hireling of the enemies of our great party.

“All can testify as to the patriotic disposition of Oshiomhole, following the recent events that led to the constitution of a caretaker Exco for the APC, and his unequivocal submission to all the decisions of the hierarchy, including the president’s admonitions.

“Oshiomhole not only withdrew all cases in courts; but thereafter proceeded to Edo State, where he served as a two term governor, to face the work at hand.

“But, hear Lukman’s last assault on the sensibility of all party faithfuls, in one of his most recent encounters with a daily newspaper, as published on August 11, 2020

“He went ahead throwing tantrums, as to undermine the party’s efforts ahead of the Edo State Governorship Election of September 19, 2020.

“Lukman is better advised to go contest for councillorshp if he wants to politic, and refrain from hauling insults on Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, a two-term former governor and immediate past National Chairman of the APC. 

“Oshiomhole’s achievements, including his stewardship at the helm of affairs of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), remain a reference point till date, and it beats the imagination of anybody, why a Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum, will lend himself to being used by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.

“A man who was rejected by his people in his native Kaduna State when he vied for the senate is the one talking against Oshiomhole who is a winning machine. He is still lamenting because he wanted Oshiomhole to impose him as a senatorial candidate in the last general election and the man refused so he is angry.

“Whether Dr Lukman likes it or not, Oshiomhole will lead the APC to victory in Edo State, and then, he will be ashamed of himself, by which time he will forever shut up in his mindless pursuit of trying to denigrate the efforts of those working round the clock for positive results.”
