24 Hours after surviving sack, Oshiomhole alleges Peoples Democratic Party of amplifying All Progressives Congress internal crisis

Barely twenty-four hours after he got Appeal Court relief to continue as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)  of amplifying  the ruling party internal crisis.

Penpushing reports that, Oshiomhole made the observation on Tuesday as he toed the path of reconciliation, with the aggrieved members of his party saying he is ready to work with party leaders, irrespective of ideological differences

“I have been forced to agree that I am not the best chairman in the world and I will never be. But nobody can fault my sincerity of purpose. My style can only be my style but I have recognised that I must reconcile my style to the style of others so that we will meet in the middle of the way,” Oshiomhole said

The known outspoken Oshiomhole while adopting a pacifist tone for the first time since he assumed the leadership of the ruling party in 2018, at the National Working Committee (NWC) meeting  held at the party secretariat addressed journalists after the meeting.

Penpushing further reports that, among the National Working Committee(NWC)  members at the meeting include; the controversially approved Deputy national Chairman (South), Senator Abiola Ajimobi; the Deputy National Secretary, Mr Giadom; the party’s National Auditor, Paul Chukwuma; Vice-Chairmen of some of the geo-political zones except that of North-East, Salihu Mustapha; and few other members of the committe.

Penpushing also reports that, Oshiomhole acknowledged the animosity among party leaders but denied the existence of division in the National Working Committee(NWC), adding, “this NWC is not divided, It is true that we have arguments, it is true that some people must have been provoked to approach the court, but it is also true that deep in our hearts, no one of us wants to destroy our party,”

“It can only be unusual when we fight each other, quarrel with one another, we develop that level of animosity that we become incapable of sitting down, put on our thinking cap, reminding ourselves that the things that are binding us together are more than what divide us, I am not capable of being bias by the very background I am from and I recognise that one tree cannot make a forest, however that tree might think of itself.” Oshiomhole said
