National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole has described former President
Goodluck Jonathan as a ‘zoologist from the swamps of Otueke who ran a
disastrous presidency’.
Oshiomhole through his Chief
Press Secretary, Simon Ebebulem said this in an article titled: “Vote-buying:
Jonathan goofed on Oshiomhole”
Ebebulem wrote the article in
response to comments made by the former President while responding to
allegations by Oshiomhole on Channels Television programme, Roadmap, that
vote-buying gained prominence under the Jonathan administration.
Reacting to the claim, Jonathan
questioned the psychological state of Oshiomhole.
However, Ebegbulem in response
described Jonathan’s attack on Oshiomhole’s psychology as a new low.
He said “If the allegation that
the APC national chairman is having psychological issues with the even more
specific reference to “multiple personality syndrome,” came from a doctor of
human medicine with specialisation in psychology, it could debatably enjoy some
merit.
“But Jonathan is a zoologist from
the swamps of Otuoke. This is clearly veering from his turf and unworthy of
further debate.
“Probably still retaining some
remnant of conscience after a disastrous presidency, he was stung when APC
national chairman recently correctly accused him specifically and his party of
birthing vote-buying and encouraging electoral fraud in Nigeria.
“After unseemly name-calling, the
former President without even addressing the core points raised by Oshiomhole
felt the easier path was to counter-accuse the APC leader with exactly the same
damning allegation.
“The former President invented
vote-buying as was witnessed in 2015, in Edo State when he injected billions of
naira as well as other states of the nation desperately buying votes to ensure
he got a futile second chance as President.
“Out of desperation, Jonathan
injected over N5bn through the PDP leaders with a view to forcefully influence
Edo electorate into voting the PDP. This was why the PDP was able to corner two
senatorial seats in the state and got a majority of the House of
Representatives’ seats against the wish of the electorate in Edo State.”
