Finally, Oshiomhole Speaks On Plot To Return Him As APC Chairman
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has distanced himself from alleged insinuations and plots to return him to office.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the insinuations was upon legal arguments that the return of Oshiomhole was about the most constitutional means to repair the damage arising from the Supreme Court judgment on the Ondo State governorship election.
The former Edo State governor spoke through a press statement in Abuja on Wednesday by H.
He said: “Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who is now a member of the APC and self-styled aide of Minister of Transportation, Chief Rotimi Amaechi.
“In the said statement widely reported in the media, Chief Eze was quoted as saying that Mr. Festus Keyamo SAN, Hon Minister of State for Labour and Employment and others were plotting to bring back Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as national chairman of the APC.
“Ordinarily we would have ignored this nonsensical suggestion. However, it is pertinent to set the records straight and put to rest this ridiculous falsehood being marketed by Eze Chukwuemeka Eze.”
Oshiomhole also recalled that Keyamo was among those who allegedly gave legal inspiration to those who removed him from office.
“Keyamo also offered legal advice on the legality of the NEC that was convened for the dissolution of the Oshiomhole led National Working Committee of APC and emergence of the Governor Mai-Mala Buni led Caretaker Committee.
“It is therefore frivolous for any right-thinking person to assume that Keyamo who actively supported the removal of the national chairman elected by over 6, 500 party delegates from across the 36 states and the FCT because 8 out of 27 ward executive members purportedly suspended a national party chairman, would now plot to bring the same Oshiomhole back to the office.”
Affirming that he would not be part of any crisis to distabilise the country, Oshiomhole said:
“This is an opportunity to further reaffirm Comrade Adams Oshiomhole’s loyalty to the APC under the able leadership of His Excellency, Governor Mai-Mala Buni.”
