Former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
Adams Oshiomhole tongue-lashed Salihu Lukman, the director-general of the
Progressive Governors Forum(PGF) on Monday, likening him to a pig and an empty
brain.
Lukman had suggested that Oshiomhole in embarking on Edo
governorship campaign wants to re-contest the APC chairmanship.
Salihu Lukman has been throwing barbs at Oshiomhole for some
time, in press releases, but today Oshiomhole fired back.
“lt takes an empty brain to suggest that I only want to
stage a come back to become the national chairman. For what? To go and do a
reset?
He added that his central role in the ongoing campaign for
the election of APC governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, had
nothing to do with such interest.
“So my attitude is not to reply the noise and it is coming
from somebody who says he is an employee and appointee of Progressives
Governors Forum.
“He is just like the cowards that are using him that are not
able to come out.
“Otherwise, you should ask this guy, who is now an election
expert. He contested for Senate against Makarfi, he lost.
“He even contested against governor El-Rufai during the
primaries and he lost, before Bagudu unilaterally appointed him the DG.
“So, if he is now the spokesman abusing me and all of that,
you want to drag me to his level? No!
“A gentleman does not wrestle with a pig, if you do you will
always be stained and I don’t want to get into that.
“You want me to engage in a fight with a pig? If you engage
in a fight with a pig, the pig already is stained by its nature and you will
wear your white garment, and in my own case, khaki to go and wrestle with a
pig? I will not.”
“You see, what I want the media to interrogate is: When I
was removed as national chairman, Edo was APC. So do I have to win Edo to
become the chairman?
“Do I look so unemployed? I’m 68.
“So, what they don’t understand is that, it is not the
office of chairman that made me who I am.
“It is my pedigree from my days as labourer in the textile
industry to be the general secretary of textile workers all over Nigeria and
becoming the president of NLC.”
