Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has accused ex-President
Olusegun Obasanjo of seeking another term through the backdoor.
Speaking with state house
correspondents on Friday, Oshiomhole described Obasanjo as organising secretary
going about to “recruit tired politicians to continue his term”.
He dismissed reports that the
ruling party is being hit my massive defections, saying it is the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) that is suffering mass defection.
“I think this is what you should
ask the PDP, they are the ones who have suffered huge mass defection even of
the so-called founding fathers. In those good old days people like Professor
Jerry Gana will tell us that we are the founding fathers, people like president
Obasanjo will tell you that I was the first president and all those stuff, all
of these people are gone,” he said.
“I think the media should get
more engaged and scrutinize those of us who are political players, especially
when we speak from both sides of our mouths, or we know are turning the truth
upside down.
“Just few months back, you know
that a good number after their convention, people like Prof. Oyediran, Jerry
Gana, who are said to be founding fathers of the party left to form what is
called the SDP. So, they broke out and when it dawn on them that even together
we defeated them just four years ago, now further factionalized what can they
do?
“And there is no better proof
than that old man who is going round as an organising secretary, recruiting
people, looking for tired players to continue with his third term agenda which
Nigerians have rejected.”
