OSHIOMOLE DARES SARAKI TO NAME ONE POLITICIAN THAT GAVE HIM MONEY TO MANIPULATE ELECTIONS
The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has threatened to sue the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, if he failed to mention one aspirant that gave him money to influence his decisions.
Oshiomhole in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Simon Ebegbulem, described the attack on him by the Senate president as unwarranted, pathetic and irresponsible resort to petty politics.
According to him, Saraki as a usurper of and pretender to the position of senate president, has no moral grounds to call for his resignation as national chairman of the APC.
Threatening to sue the Senate president, he challenged him to mention one aspirant that allegedly gave him money.
The statement said, “It is sad that Saraki, who just woke up from slumber occasioned by his crushing defeat at the Port Harcourt presidential primary of his party, could degenerate to such a low level.
“It is equally sad, but not unexpected, that Saraki, who is politically drowning, would make such libelous comments against the national chairman of the APC. And I challenge Saraki to mention one name of an aspirant that gave money to the National Chairman or we file a legal action against him.
“Whereas the basis on which he made those comments was tenuous and unjustifiable, it is on record that Saraki has been in the eye of investigations by the EFCC and the ICPC for sundry cases of corruption.
Saraki had said the former governor of Edo State had no moral grounds to remain in office for allegedly receiving monies from some persons to influence the decision of the National Working Committee in their favour.
