Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairmanship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says during his
eight years as governor of Edo state, he did not oppress anyone.
The former governor said this on
Tuesday when he met with Senate President Bukola Saraki and senators elected on
the platform of the APC.
He was at the senate to solicit
the support of APC lawmakers for his chairmanship bid.
While promising to make changes
if given the opportunity to be chairman of the party, the former governor said
concerns raised by party leaders across the country that must be addressed.
“I am here to state my intention
to run for the position of chairman of our party the APC and solicit your
support for my candidature. Part of the challenge is that various organs of the
party have not functioned. As a governor I have not oppressed anyone, power can
be tempting,” Oshiomhole said.
“In the forthcoming convention
every senator is a delegate in his [or her] right. I confess that while I was
in NLC i fought with some governors – not against them. They understand that is
nothing personal but for good.”
On his part, Saraki said he
believes in the capacity of Oshiomhole in effecting changes in the party.
“I believe in your capacity to do
the things you said you will do,” the senate president said.
Thereafter, the meeting went into
a closed session.
