‘If Presidency Condones Disrespect, I Will Not,’ Oshiomhole Threatens To Suspend Minister


The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has threatened to suspend the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, from the party noting that he will not give room for ‘dishonourable’ Ministers.


Oshiomhole while addressing journalists in Abuja, on Monday, said discipline must be maintained and if Ngige fails to constitute and inaugurate board members for Federal Agencies’ parastatals under his ministry he will be expelled from the ruling party.

“If the Minister refuses we will suspend him from the party. We must return to internal discipline. For me it is the height of mischief for any Minister, you cannot purport to be Honourable Minister and you act dishonourably. Nobody is greater than the party.

“If the President condones disrespect for his office, I will not condone disrespect for the party.”

The National Chairman said some Ministers have abused the ‘fatherly disposition’ of President Muhammadu Buhari and therefore, efforts will be put in place to prevail on the President to instill discipline in members of his cabinet and Ministers.

“They have taken undue advantage of the President’s fatherly disposition. When we expel the Minister, we will prevail on the President that he can’t keep in his cabinet people who have neither respect for his own decisions nor have respect for the party without which they would not have been Ministers.

“There are no independent candidates in our system. No Minister is above the party. It is absolutely illegal for a Minister in a democracy to prey the powers of the board. The laws establishing those institutions are clear. The boards have procedures to follow.

“When a minister sits in his office to award a contract that didn’t go through boards, this is clearly an abuse of office.

“I am convinced that what they are doing is not with the endorsement of Mr. President. I tell them it is the same authority that appoints these people. It is the same green pen that made them Ministers that appointed these boards that they are refusing to swear in.”

Oshiomhole, who is also a former governor of Edo State, said the Ministers must comply to President Buhari’s instructions. He said they must also comply with the party’s position or they are shown the way out of the party.

This he, however, stressed does not mean he does not respect Nigerian Ministers.

“We have respect for Ministers but only to the extent that they recognise that they are a product of a political party. They either comply or we will expel them from the party.”

Oshiomhole speaking concerning the newly formed Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC) maintained that he is losing no sleep over the opposition party.

According to him, the APC would not change nor negotiate its core values in order to retain aggrieved members.

gather hear if you think oshio mo ole is talking too much nowadays.....

If you read what was written above which obviously you didnt you will see Osho said the truth, i'm not in support of any stupid party, but once in a while lets put aside our hate for this government,

What he said was Ngige awarded contracts without following due process or getting approval from the board members, we all know clueless Buhari will overlook it as always but Osho is trying put him in check, apc nitwits in government take advantage of the fact that bubu is dull that's why they behave and loot anyhow, pls let's always argue, support and oppose fairly next time.

I hate to do this

I need to get my popcorn and watch the drama unfold itself

Osho baba is now on his estrous cycle or heat period.

Failed country

Shut up...you black shit.

You've gotta love this man's guts tho...

I pity this presidency...

from IGP transmission to Oshomole...

In a sane society oshiomole would have been serving his jail terms.bast bastard thief

2 APC short men
The other 2 are hell rufai & osunbade.

What is wrong with this midget? Do you have beef with your fellow midget before?

With the rate oshiothief is going, he will soon step on toes.

Rubbish.

Oshiomole should dance with caution. The APC is leaving in February, no sense in making enemies.

Really? Interesting times ahead.

Will be nice to see who blinks first.

Reason why buhari wanted oshiomole to becone the party president so he can use him to instigate those erring ministers using the party as a cover up.

we are watching
