The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, on Tuesday charged the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Adams Oshiomhole, to submit himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, and the Department of State Services, DSS.
PDP said Oshiomhole should submit
himself to DSS and EFCC in other to redeem and clear himself of corrupt charges
against him while he was the governor of Edo State.
In a statement by its
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the opposition party said Oshiomhole should
face his pending corruption allegations and imminent sack for alleged
misconduct, instead of “seeking a face-saving measure by embarking on
shadow-boxing against the PDP.”
Ologbondiyan said the APC
National Chairman, “who is battling his ouster calls by APC leaders over allegations
of corruption and malfeasance in his handling of their party, is in no position
to cast aspersions or pontificate to the PDP on our lawful internal activities
and relationship with our elected public officials.”
He said: “Instead of trying to launder
his image by unnecessarily attacking the PDP, we advice Oshiomhole to redeem
his name by submitting himself to the Department of State Services (DSS) and
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to answer huge allegations
of corruption as Edo state governor as well as alleged misconducts as APC
Chairman.
“We challenge Oshiomhole to speak
out on the allegations that he fled the country at the wake of his reported
interrogation by the DSS in 2018 over accusations of corruption.
“This is a leader who had
accepted that his party and the government it formed are sanctuaries of corrupt
persons, when he stated, at the APC campaign rally in Edo state last
year, that “once you join the APC, your sins are forgiven”.
“Moreover, instead of this
fixation on the PDP, Oshiomhole already has his plate full with the crisis in
his home state, Edo, where he is generally believed to be responsible for
political tension by trying to force himself on the state governor, Governor
Godwin Obaseki, as godfather.
“Oshiomhole needs to concentrate
on the crisis rocking his party as well
as the Presidency where the
members of the cabal are at daggers drawn over the sharing of positions as
“booty” of a rigged election.”
