Adams Oshiomhole, former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says if given a second chance, he will not lead the ruling party .
In a statement on Monday,
Oshiomhole said he remains proud of the achievements of the party’s national
working committee (NWC) under his leadership.
Oshiomhole, who said he holds no
grudge against anyone who contributed to his removal, added that he has
instructed his lawyers to withdraw the suit challenging his suspension.
“I instructed my lawyers to
withdraw the suits challenging my purported suspension from office by the
proxies of those bent on removing me as
chairman,” the statement read.
“It is, therefore, the height of
mischief to insinuate, as it is being
done in some quarters, that I would publicly accept the decision and later
surreptitiously seek to contest it in court.
“That chapter of my political
life is closed. Even if another NEC decision or a court order reverses the
dissolution, with utmost humility I will decline to return as APC chairman.
“I am proud of the
accomplishments of the NWC under my leadership and I am grateful to the
principled 18 members who worked as a
team committed to the cause of the party. Above all, I bear no grudges
against any one for the manner of my removal.”
Oshiomhole expressed gratitude to
President Muhammadu Buhari for supporting his administration as APC chairman.
A federal capital territory (FCT)
high court suspended Oshiomhole on March 5, four months after the former
chairman was suspended by his state chapter of the party.
On June 25, Oshiomhole-led
national working committee was dissolved following a leadership tussle.
A caretaker committee chaired by
Mai Mala Buni, Yobe governor and former national secretary, was set up in place
of the dissolved NWC.

Who will even allow you to come back?
ReplyDeleteEven local govt chairman, you will not get.
Think of it, when philip Shaibu and obaseki was behind you, they use Intelligence to tame you, but immediately they got their job as governor, you were let loose and your inbuilt character came out for all to see. You were warned that that battle will end your political career
