I Have No Hands In Adams Oshiomhole’s Travails – Gov Amosun

Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has denied any knowledge of the alleged grilling of the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole by the Department of State Security, DSS, in Abuja.

It was reported that the nation’s police undercover had quizzed the National APC Chairman on Sunday over an allegation of corruption when he was governor of Edo State as well as allegedly collecting graft during the party’s primaries to favour some aspirants.

Governor Amosun and his colleague from Imo State, Rochas Okorocha were mentioned as the “behind the scene” writers of the petition to the DSS against the APC Chairman.

But speaking with State House correspondents after meeting behind closed doors with President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Amosun who tried to parry questions surrounding his relationship with Oshiomhole and his alleged involvement in the petition to the DSS against APC Chairman, said he had no hands in any petition against Oshiomhole.

He said, “I think you are probably giving me an oversight role and I am not a security person, so clearly I think that question will not be for me. I don’t have to hide under a finger to fight. If there is need for me to put my views across, you know me by now that I will do it.”

Also asked to comment on the report that Oshiomhole may have fled the country after his encounter with the DSS, he said, “I have told you those things are beyond my pedigree and you are asking me questions that I am not well suited for. The one that I think I should talk about we have said it loud and clear that we don’t need to add any other thing.”

On his mission at the Villa, he said, “I always come like this and I know that you will want to ask me this and that and that is what you are doing, but clearly and talking seriously, I think that all that need to be said, I think all of you can attest to that, that has been said loud and clear and I think saying anything further would amount to probably I sounding like a broken gramophone. I think I have said all that we need to say and we did it loud and clear.”

Pressed further on how his matter with the national leadership of the APC could be resolved, the governor who rhetorically asked what matter, said the allegation of having issues with Oshiomhole was not correct.
