The attention of the Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibukunle
Amosun has been drawn to the statements credited to the National
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole on the raging controversy on the last primaries in the
country particularly Ogun State.
Comrade Oshiomhole is credited as saying that his posture on the
primaries was because he would not sell his conscience to hold on to
the position of national chairman.
A statement signed by the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Otunba Adedayo Adeneye stated that “We state without any fear of equivocation that no one, at least not on
the side of Senator Amosun, has requested or expected Oshiomhole to
sell his conscience. The least we expect of him is to abide by the rules
and guidelines of the APC. Oshiomhole knows, as we know, that in the
instance of the last primaries in Ogun State, he has fallen short of the
minimum standards of justice, equity and fairness. The resort to
hiding under the false claims about “conscience and integrity” is
cheap.
“Oshiomhole knows that there were no other gubernatorial primaries
in Ogun State other than the one that produced Hon. Adekunle
Akinlade as candidate. He knows that the primaries into national and
legislative offices were won hundred per cent by those declared
winner by the panel he sent to Ogun State to oversee the exercise. He
knows that the shenanigan of unknown court injunctions, unknown
appeal panels and all sorts unleashed on the process by him and his
cohorts are premeditated schemes executed to deny the members of
the APC their true choice of candidates in the elections. Our
consolation lies in the fact that in the fullness of time, what remains
unknown to the public will become bare and everyone will see
Oshiomhole and his co-travellers for who they are.
“In his conduct, Oshiomhole has exhibited disdain for the interest of the
APC and that of the National Leader of the party, President
Muhammadu Buhari. Senator Amosun remains committed to his
convictions about President Buhari and nothing in the shenanigan of
the primaries will change that.
“Finally, Oshiomhole’s claim that only three state governors are
aggrieved about the conduct of the primaries flies in the face of the
nation-wide outcry that remains loud, trailing the exercise several
weeks after. We remind him that in any case, justice is not dependent
on the number of whom it has been denied. Injustice to one is
injustice to all. The overwhelming majority of members of the APC in
Ogun State remain unshaken in their rejection of the gangsterism that
has been visited on them in the conduct of the primaries. They remain
resolved that the attempt to hand over their state and their patrimony
to a rapacious gang of expansionists in the South West will be resisted,
not only by members of the APC but by the entire people of Ogun State
who are too enlightened to tolerate such abomination.
