Adams Oshiomhole, National
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has questioned the morality of
former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s alarm over alleged plans of the ruling
party to rig the election.
Speaking in Ilorin, Kwara State,
during the APC rally on Monday, Oshiomhole said he had evidence of Obasanjo’s
use of policemen to snatch ballot boxes. However, he didn’t say if this
happened during the election that made Obasanjo President in 1999 or the one
that secured his re-election in 2003.
“He [Obasanjo] said he was
warning that INEC, Police, Army, every government institution, should not be
destroyed… I have the pictures where Obasanjo used policemen to snatch ballot
boxes, even here in Kwara State,” Oshiomhole said.
“In Kwara, they used arm robbers
to terrorise the people on election day. Those who have been arrested for
killing 32 people have confessed who gave them the arms. So, who is using the
produce or unarmed armed robbers to terrorise people other than PDP?
“I want to assure the
international community… our victory will be transparent; we do not need to
steal what belongs to us. We have travelled round the country; we have seen the
people; they want Buhari.”
He described the campaign rally
as a celebration of the end of Senate President Bukola Saraki, whom Tinubu had
also hurled abusive words.
“We have come to celebrate the
end of Bukola Saraki. When I listen to what the people are saying, I know for
Bukola, it is finished. Those who stole money… Kwara funds, he embezzled them;
Senate funds, he embezzled them; Societe Generale Bank’s funds, he embezzled
them,” Oshiomhole said.
“I cannot wait for Saturday, so
that Kwara people can celebrate their newfound freedom. It will be a day for
Kwara people and for Nigerians, particularly younger politicians, to realise
that the evil that the political son has done to a political father, that evil
must not be awakened. That will be the story of Bukola.
“For 26 years, Bukola has
over-pushed your indebtedness. He has underdeveloped Kwara; he has controlled
governors much more than a man shall control his cook, and he has reduced Kwarans
to mere observers in their own political life and their own economic life.
“There is nothing that exposes
Bukola’s love for money and self-interest than the confession he made the day
we saw his back out of APC. He said Buhari gave out over 200 juicy and he
didn’t give to him or Dogara. For him, politics is about juicy jobs; Kwara is
about Kwara juice for Saraki to take away. That is why I am so happy to see the
actual translation of ‘enough is enough’. Everything that has a beginning has
an end.”
