Oshiomole debunks claims he wants to return as APC Chairman
By Emmanuel Awosika
Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has denied claims that he wants to return to his former role in the party.
Oshiomole said in a statement on Monday that the chapter of his life is closed, adding that he would not accept the role even if it was given freely to him.
The forrmer Chairman was reacting to claims that he was behind a suit challenging the suspension of National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC, which he headed during his time as party chairman.
He emphasised that he was not seeking any underhanded means of returning as APC National Chairman, adding that he bore no grudges for his removal from the position.
“Above all, I bear no grudge against any one for the manner of my removal. Instead, I am grateful and loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari who in the first place encouraged me to contest the chairmanship of the party.
“I am particularly appreciative of the presidential support and encouragement which enabled me to assert the authority of the party without fear or favour. Indeed, I would not have lasted as long as I did as national chairman but for the President’s support.
“I will therefore continue to support his administration to succeed in serving the common good of the people of Nigeria,” he added.
