Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is on his way back to Nigeria
from the UK.
The APC chairman travelled out of
the country after he was quizzed by operatives of the Department of State
Services (DSS) over allegations of collecting bribe during his party’s primary
elections.
Recall that Oshiomhole was detained for nine
hours by the DSS on Sunday before leaving for the US.
Iara, wife of the former Edo
governor, is said to be indisposed and receiving treatment in the US.
TheCable understands that
Oshiomhole arrived London from the US on Thursday where he met with Bola
Tinubu, chieftain of the APC.
He departed London for Lagos by
British Airways on Friday morning.
He was originally scheduled to
return to Nigeria on Sunday but had to cut his trip short because of the
speculation on his ordeal with the DSS, and also to shut down reports that he
fled the country over the matter.
The former president of Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC) is at loggerheads with some APC governors over the manner
in which the party’s primaries played out.
The aggrieved governors,
including Rochas Okorocha of Imo and Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun, failed to get the
gubernatorial tickets of the APC for their preferred candidates.
