2019 ELECTION: IF BUHARI WILL WIN, OSHIOMOLE MUST BE SACRIFISED
Joseph Omoniyi
Reports said that, some governors under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, are currently lobbying President Muhammadu Buhari to ‘axe’ the party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomole, in order not to jeopardize his reelection ambition.
According to an unconfirmed source, the governors who were not comfortable with the style of leadership of Oshiomole are reportedly calling for his removal.
The source claimed that the governors did not financially contribute to the party’s convention and were monitoring how money gotten from sale of nomination forms are being spent.
“They are insisting that Oshiomhole must go because they can’t work with him for the election next year. They refused to contribute to the APC convention and asked the party chairman to use the N10 billion he collected from the sale of nomination forms. They are also monitoring how he is spending it,” the source hinted, adding that the governors have met with the president to strategise the former Edo State governor’s removal as the party chairman.
