OSHIOMHOLE THREATENS TO DRAG SARAKI TO COURT OVER BRIBERY ALLEGATION

The Senate President who spoke on the allegation that Oshiomhole was induced to influence the results of the controversial primaries of All Progressives Congress (APC), said till date, the issues remain unresolved in some states.

The statement said Saraki lacks moral ground to verbally attack and make such accusations against Oshiomhola, stressing that Saraki statement was “unwarranted, pathetic and irresponsible.”

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress(APC) said Saraki, “an usurper of and pretender” to the position of Senate President, had no moral ground to call for the resignation of the national chairman.

“It is equally sad, but not unexpected, that Saraki, who is politically drowning, would make such libelous comments against the national chairman of the APC. And I challenge Saraki to mention one name of an aspirant that gave money to the national chairman or we file a legal action against him’.

“Whereas, the basis on which he made those comments was tenuous and unjustifiable, it is on record that Saraki has been in the eye of investigations by the EFCC and the ICPC for sundry cases of corruption,” the statement read.

“We challenge him to mention one person who has claimed that he gave money to Oshiomhole to influence him and the decision of the party’s national working committee (NWC) in the just-concluded primary elections.”

Penpushing recalled that Oshiomhole, was earlier grilled by the State Security Service over the controversial primaries which have turned Governors of Ogun, Zamfara and Imo States  against him.
