Erstwhile National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has denied plans to return to his former seat, saying those who are making such allegations are doing so for selfish purposes.
Oshiomhole’s position was contained in a statement issued Wednesday and signed by his ‘Senior Media Aide’, Victor Oshioke.
The statement which was titled, “Leave Oshiomhole out of APC leadership debate” was a reaction to an earlier statement “credited to Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) who is now a member of the APC and self styled aide of Minister of Transportation, Chief Rotimi Amaechi”.
Chief Eze was reportedly quoted as saying that the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo SAN, and others were plotting to bring back Comrade Oshiomhole as national chairman of the APC.
While Oshiomhole denies nursing such plan, he however pledged his loyalty to the Gov. Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC of the party.
Part of the statement reads; “Ordinarily we would have ignored this nonsensical suggestion. However, it is pertinent to set the records straight and put to rest this ridiculous falsehood being marketed by Eze Chukwuemeka Eze
