A former Governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, has slamed Adams Oshiomhole, for trying to shade ex-president Buhari. He than went on to call him names, suggestibg he lacks exposure, and not well educated enough!
Recall Oshiomhole while speaking at a book launch, said APC had to spend N800 million in Imo, Ogun, Kwara, and Taraba States in 2019 due to strong opposition leaders.
Responding to the Edo North Senator, a statement signed by Amosun partly reads : “It is not in doubt that I have participated fully in the formation and sustenance of our party, the APC, and I can boldly say that the party under Adams Oshiomhole conducted one of the worst primaries in the history of Nigeria’s contemporary politics and ended up shopping for his own enemies, leading to his eventual removal as chairman of our party.
“If anyone was in doubt that Senator Oshiomhole posed the biggest and most destructive threat to the existence of the APC at that time, and the party’s best bet was to dispose of a canon folder that he was and unfortunately still is, his utterances and grandstanding yesterday at an occasion to find solutions to our democratic and party challenges would have cleared such a mindset.
“If he wanted to insult our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, he could have come out boldly to do so. But his subtle attempt to pass snide remarks at him failed the simple test of loyalty because the former president also moved from his own party to merge with other like minds to form the APC.
“Also, if he is seeking favour from the Presidency, why not come out and do so? But to tell barefaced lies that, “You are working for your paymaster in Lagos, paymaster in Bourdillon,” is cheap but typical of an individual who suddenly found himself where he never dreamt of, despite his obvious limitations—education and exposure.”
