Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) on Sunday, TheCable understands.

Oshiomhole was grilled by DSS operatives for nine hours after some APC governors alleged that he received bribes during the party’s primary elections across the country.

Sources told TheCable that the APC chairman was asked to resign during interrogation by the DSS.

But Oshiomhole resisted the pressure to resign, saying he would only do so if he loses the confidence of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The APC chairman told the DSS that the president was in the loop of every action he took during the party’s primaries.

“Adams Oshiomhole was arrested by the DSS, they didn’t show him any petition. It was alleged by some governors that he collected bribe during the primaries,” a source said.

“He was told to resign and he told DSS operatives that he will resign if he loses the confidence of the president. He said everything the party did, he (Buhari) was in the know.”

Another source said the president expressed shock at the governors’ move, saying he was not aware of the development.

“On Monday night Oshiomhole met with the president and briefed him on what happened and the president was shocked. The president said he did not know about it and promised to look into it,” the source said.

The APC primaries were marred by controversies. Elections in some states had to be repeated.

In Zamfara, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said the party will not participate in the 2019 polls because it could not successfully conclude its primary before the deadline.

In Imo, the APC favoured the governorship candidacy of Hope Uzodimma, senator representing Imo west, over Uche Nwosu, son-in-law of Rochas Okorocha, governor the state.

Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun governor, fell out with the party’s national working committee (NWC) after it chose Dapo Abiodun as the state’s gubernatorial candidate. Abiodun Akinlade is Amosun’s preferred candidate.

A number of APC governors have expressed disappointment over the way the national leadership of the party had gone about the issues, hence the move against Oshiomhole.

SECONDED!!!!

It is very obvious that PMB lacks basic leadership skills to manage his kitchen cabinet talkless of managing his party APC and the largest country in Africa!
The fact is that over the years, PMB failed to update his knowledge and improve himself on leadership skills and human relationships management.
Contrary to the popular belief, PMB is not even firm and assertive.
Let leave tribal and religious sentiment apart, how can we trust someone who cannot even manage his kitchen cabinet to take Nigeria to the next level?

Buhari does not know again that a security agency directly answerable to him is used for an intraparty power squabble Jeez! What country is this for God's sake?

Abeg who really is the presidency-guess the cabal? It's not time the NASS really tight up the loose nuts and do the needful for this man Nigeria have today as president.Buhari is simply in government but not in power.

Meanwhile same DSS, EFCC, ICPC and the police have maintained an annoying silience over the scandalous allegations against Oshiomole by Rev.Idahosa from his home state suddenly found it's footing based on the APC warped selective justice system.

Thank goodness Oshiomole did not mentioned Saraki behind this ordeal.Guess the hunter is now the hunter in the APC game of power.The crisis will continue until they eliminate themselves from our national life.

Meanwhile something strongly tell me Buhari is on a calculated plan to simply scheme out anything other than the former CPC from the APC power block QED.

And Buhari said..."I didn't know..."

Omeokachie:
And Buhari said..."I didn't know..."

Buhari is not always aware...lol

Hehehehehe

ChangetheChange:

Buhari is not always aware...lol

And he wants to be "in-charge" for another 4yrs

Saraki will be eating his pop corn and zobo drink

Who is really in charge of DSS, this is embarrassing.

what a nation please check my signature.God Bless U as u render your help

Jubrin from Sudan is a mere figurehead

ChangetheChange:

APC zombies will still tell u Saraki sent DSS to quizz Oshiomole, same way they claim Saraki ordered DSS to invade the National Assembly
Buhari has never been control of this government, that is why the cabals want to force Buhari on Nigerians again in 2019

I nearly forget the saraki part, these people are really useless imagine DSS operating like its a govt of its own

For real

oshiomole must not resign o, he must use his tenure complete to the core.

Even the Cables are bunch of lies

Another source said the president expressed shock at the governors’ move, saying he was not aware of the development.

He is never aware.

That is his only defense and excuse.

When the NNPC missing $4b was being investigated in 1980, he claimed he was not aware.

The PTF probe that exposed massive corruption during Abacha era he claimed ignorance as well.

Even in his own presidency we see him claiming ignorance over the IGP refusing to relocate to Benue. He claimed same ignorance when Duara raided the Senate.

Well the law is clear, ignorance can never be admitted as a defense. The office holder of the Sit of the President is accountable to actions either by commission or omission.
