Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun
State has said that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has in his conducts, exhibited disdain for the
interest of President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling party.
The Governor was last night
reacting to Oshiomhole’s claims of innocence in the going crisis rocking the
party in various states.
Amosun spoke through the State’s
commissioner for information, Dayo Oduneye in reaction to Oshiomhole’s claim
that he would not sell his conscience.
Oshiomhole had on Wednesday
mentioned Amosun as one of the governors who were against his leadership.
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.”
