Shuaibu, Oshiomhole’s Deputy Explains Rebellion

Senator Lawali Shuaibu, the Deputy National Chairman,  North, All Progressives Congress (APC) whose suspension was lifted by the National Working Committee (NWC) resumed duties on Wednesday with an explanation as to why he asked Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to resign as national chairman.

Shuaibu, who was received amidst rousing reception by APC staff,  told newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday that he would support the NWC’s efforts in strengthening the weak structure of the party.

Shuaibu said: “All I have said in that letter have all come to pass. It is wrong to say that the war is over because to me, there was no war in the first place.

“My letter to Oshiomhole was very personal to either save the party or allow it to collapse.

“The structures of the party as a result of the inability of the leadership to reposition the party has become very weak. From wards to the national centres, the structures have become weak and that was what I was trying to avoid.

“I told him to come back to the track and if he cannot do it, let him leave because some of us have suffered to build this party. However, as he said, in the spirit of reconciliation,  all these are now bygone because there is nothing anybody can do when he said he has extended the olive branch.

“The pertinent question is who do you reconcile. You told me to come and buy expression of interest form for N2.5 million or so and when I bought the form, but when it comes to the contest,  you will say no that only this person’s will get the ticket, but you didn’t refund my money, how to you reconcile that.

“There are things you don’t return to, you better forget it. We have to create an avenue for a new beginning and move forward because human beings easily forget. Because of the love they have for this party, they will want to open a new beginning.”
