Lai Mohammed, minister of
information, says the rift between Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of All
Progressives Congress (APC), and Chris Ngige, minister of labour, will be
resolved.
Mohammed said this while briefing
reporters at the end of the weekly federal executive council (FEC).
Mohammed said he would not make
further comments on the rift because he needed to confirm the authenticity of
statements credited to both parties.
“What happened between the
minister and party chairman will be resolved,” the minister said.
“Two weeks ago, we inaugurated a
campaign against fake news and that is one of the most dangerous phenomena we
have today.
“We don’t know who said what and
until we know and the ministers confirmed these statements credited to them, it
is a difficult time to comment. I can assure you that if there is any problem
between the party chairman and any of our ministers, it will be resolved.”
Oshiomhole had asked the minister
and Hadi Sirika, minister of state for aviation, to inaugurate boards under
their ministries or face disciplinary action.
In response, Ngige said he would
not inaugurate the board of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF)
because of fraud.
He also accused the APC chairman
of talking out of ignorance.
Mohammed added that the matter of
the lawmakers who defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to other
political parties was not discussed at FEC meeting
“No it was not discussed at FEC
and secondly Mr President has already given our position which is that this is
a democracy, people are free to make choices,” he said.
On his part, Rotimi Amaechi,
minister of transportation, denied saying that Oshiomhole was “bad luck” to the
party.
“I saw on social media this
afternoon where they said I said the chairman is a bad luck. I never said so. I
have never said such a thing. They quoted me that I was attacking the
chairman,” Amaechi said.

Oshiomhole is the worst thing that will ever happen to APC.I said it earlier that the alliance of Oshiomhole with PMB will not stand the test of time.When innocent citizens are being killed on daily basises, PMB and Oshiomhole were meeting to form alliance instead of taken actions about Nigerians being killed on daily basises.Human being are not fowls,as their own lives,Oshiomhole and PMB is sweet so also are the lives of innocent Nigerians killed at will by Funlani herdsmen.
