YOU LACK INTEGRITY OVER OUR PARTY’S PRIMARIES, GOVERNOR AMOSUN TELLS OSHIOMHOLE

However, the Governor in his own view, in a press statement made available by his Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Otunba Dayo Adeneye, posited that, contrary to Oshiomhole ’s statement, he(Oshiomhole )  resorted  to  hiding under a cheap false claims about “conscience and integrity” .

‘The attention of the Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibukunle  Amosun has been drawn to the statements credited to the National  Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams  Oshiomhole on the raging controversy on the last primaries in the  country particularly Ogun State’, the statement reads.

It further added, ‘Comrade Oshiomhole is credited as saying that his posture on the
primaries was because he would not sell his conscience to hold on to  the position of national chairman. We state without any fear of equivocation that no one, at least not on  the side of Senator Amosun, has requested or expected Oshiomhole to  sell his conscience.

‘The least we expect of him is to abide by the rules and guidelines of the APC. Oshiomhole knows, as we know, that in the instance of the last primaries in Ogun State, he has fallen short of the minimum standards of justice, equity and fairness. The resort to hiding under the false claims about “conscience and integrity” is cheap’.

“Oshiomhole knows that there were no other Gubernatorial primaries  in Ogun State other than the one that produced Hon. Adekunle  Akinlade as candidate. He knows that the primaries into national and legislative offices were won hundred per cent by those declared  winner by the panel he sent to Ogun State to oversee the exercise.

‘He  knows that the shenanigan of unknown court injunctions, unknown  appeal panels and all sorts unleashed on the process by him and his cohorts are premeditated schemes executed to deny the members of  the APC their true choice of candidates in the elections’.

‘Our  consolation lies in the fact that in the fullness of time, what remains  unknown to the public will become bare and everyone will see  Oshiomhole and his co-travellers for who they are. In his conduct, Oshiomhole has exhibited disdain for the interest of the APC and that of the National Leader of the party, President Muhammadu Buhari. Senator Amosun remains committed to his convictions about President Buhari and nothing in the shenanigan of the primaries will change that’

“Finally, Oshiomhole’s claim that only three State Governors are aggrieved about the conduct of the primaries flies in the face of the nation-wide outcry that remains loud, trailing the exercise several weeks after. We remind him that in any case, justice is not dependent on the number of whom it has been denied. Injustice to one is injustice to all. The overwhelming majority of members of the APC in Ogun State remain unshaken in their rejection of the gangsterism that
has been visited on them in the conduct of the primaries. They remain  resolved that the attempt to hand over their state and their patrimony  to a rapacious gang of expansionists in the South West will be resisted,  not only by members of the APC but by the entire people of Ogun State
who are too enlightened to tolerate such abomination”, he said.
