The Governor of Osun State, Governor Ibikunle Amosun has expressed his displeasure on the way the party is being run by the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. According to the the Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has shown signs of disrespect and its against the interest of President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling party. He also went ahead by saying that ;”what remains unknown to the public will become bare and everyone will see Oshiomole and his co-travellers for who they are”.
This accusation by the Governor came just few days after Oshiomhole claimed that he is innocent and free of any judgment on the ongoing crisis rocking the party in various states across the nation. Governor Amosun made this known through his State’s commissioner for information, Dayo Oduneye in reaction to Oshiomhole’s claim that he would not sell his conscience.
It easy reported that the APC chairman had earlier on Wednesday made mention that Amosun is among the Governors who where against his leadership.
Having heard this Amosun responded by saying ;
In response to this, Amosun said,
“We state without any fear of equivocation that no one, at least not on the side of Senator Amosun, has requested or expected Oshiomhole to sell his conscience.
“The least we expect of him is to abide by the rules and guidelines of the APC. Oshiomhole knows, as we know, that in the instance of the last primaries in Ogun State, he has fallen short of the minimum standards of justice, equity and fairness.
“The resort to hiding under the false claims about ‘conscience and integrity’ is cheap.
“Oshiomhole knows that there were no other gubernatorial primaries in Ogun State other than the one that produced Hon. Adekunle Akinlade as candidate.
“He knows that the primaries into national and legislative offices were won hundred per cent by those declared winner by the panel he sent to Ogun State to oversee the exercise.
“He knows that the shenanigan of unknown court injunctions, unknown appeal panels and all sorts unleashed on the process by him and his cohorts are premeditated schemes executed to deny the members of the APC their true choice of candidates in the elections.
“Our consolation lies in the fact that in the fullness of time, what remains unknown to the public will become bare and everyone will see Oshiomole and his co-travellers for who they are.
“In his conduct, Oshiomhole has exhibited disdain for the interest of the APC and that of the National Leader of the party, President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Senator Amosun remains committed to his convictions about President Buhari and nothing in the shenanigan of the primaries will change that.
“Finally, Oshiomole’s claim that only three state governors are aggrieved about the conduct of the primaries flies in the face of the nation-wide outcry that remains loud, trailing the exercise several weeks after.
“We remind him that in any case, justice is not dependent on the number of whom it has been denied.
“Injustice to one is injustice to all. The overwhelming majority of members of the APC in Ogun State remain unshaken in their rejection of the gangsterism that has been visited on them in the conduct of the primaries.
“They remain resolved that the attempt to hand over their state and their patrimony to a rapacious gang of expansionists in the South West will be resisted, not only by members of the APC but by the entire people of Ogun State who are too enlightened to tolerate such abomination.”
