As plot to sack Oshiomhole thickens, Kogi Gov. Bello withdraws support after saving APC chairman from DSS

...how Oshiomhole forged signature several times to outwit DSS officials

Following the dwindling fortunes of the All Progressives Congress, APC, under the watch of the national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, governors of the party across the country, have resolved to save the party and show its embattled chairman the exit door.

Sources, who wouldn't want their names in print, told this reporter, that some of the governors have resolved to save the party from any further slide into more crises over the crude style adopted by its chairman that has earned the party more enemies than members.

Specifically, Governor Yahaya Bello, GYB, of Kogi, one of the few allies left with Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman, All Progressives Congress, APC, may have begun a tactical withdrawal of support from the embattled party chairman after recent move by the APC national working committee, NWC, members’ decision to throw Oshiomhole under the bus.

GYB, unknown to many was Oshiomhole’s saving grace when the party chairman was arrested last year over multiple allegations bordering on extortion from party candidates before the election this year.

As learnt, GYB was the only governor who picked Oshiomhole’s call while he was under detention by DSS. “At the time, Oshiomhole was given an option of resigning after irrefutable facts of his betrayals were shown to him. It was a case of multiple extortions from party candidates. He even allegedly collected money from PDP party stalwarts to undermine his own party primaries in some states. The DSS considered that a matter of national security,” explained a source.

According to close confidants of GYB, many governors and party faithful of APC had shunned calls from the embattled party chairman especially when they learnt that Aisha Buhari, wife of President Buhari was also one of the arrowheads angling for the axing of Oshiomhole.

“GYB unknowingly picked Oshiomhole’s call. By that time, Oshiomhole while in DSS detention had managed to delay his resignation by appending fake signatures to confession to his alleged crimes and resignation letters. The DSS had to verify each time and asked him to properly append his signature,” explained a close confidant to the Kogi state governor.

As learnt, GYB’s intervention after unwittingly picking Oshiomhole’s call saved the embattled chairman. It was GYB who mobilised the presidency to thread carefully on the matter, after persuading them that such move could impact negatively on the party at the polls.

But the move by Bello was said to have angered Mrs Buhari, who is believed to be GYB’s friend from way back in their school days. GYB, reportedly spent several days trying to explain his position to Mrs Buhari on the matter. With the loss of Zamfara State to PDP at the apex court on account of a bungled party primary, the knives have again come out for Oshiomhole, a reason why GYB has begun a tactical withdrawal of support for the party chairman.

Few days ago, the deputy national chairman of APC, Senator Lawal Shuaibu, wrote to Oshiomhole to follow the path of honour and resign in the face of glaring incompetence exhibited by Oshiomhole in the handling of the party's affairs.

The call for Oshiomhole's resignation has been receiving the endorsements of members of the NWC, the latest, being APC governors.

Oshiomhole is going no where.......WAILERS love him so much

Interesting things. I love the Fulanis

Lubbish... Yaya should pay kogi workers before we take him serious

you can't be serious. PDP will definitely get something to laugh over after serial heartbreak from Baba

for all I care this APC chairman is one of the most corrupt persons in apc

APC is just filled with traitors, betrayers but desperate power drunk fellas.

Politics a VERY VERY DIRTY game

Our democracy won't grow until party supremacy is adhered to. Whether Oshiomole's tactics are crude and divisive is debatable.

The gang up against him seems huge. The Deputy National Chairman couldn't have acted in isolation.

If he has truly extorted party members as alleged, then he shouldn't wait to be embarrassed out of office.

For his deputy to challenge him, the coup has gone too deep.

Beer palour report. Now we understand where the rant of the deputy national chairman came from.
Yahaya Bello pay you workers and stop chasing shadows. Oshiomole is a too hard nut for you to crack. _{Omode to ba kolu iroko oluwere}
Nonsense and ingredient.

Lolx, a news about Osho baba but all I see is GYB everywhere and how he is superman 2.0 . Oga Op, go tell your boss stuffs like this won't safe him.

If osho leaves, tinubu influence may wane in APC

We told them APC will soon impode. They didn't believe it.

Whoever that is having high hopes in this 2nd tenure of Buhari is joking. Buhari (abi Cabals) will be busy attending to APC's issues than Nigeria

If Oshiomole leaves, Tinubu should just forget APC unless SW takes the ticket.

If oshomole is been remove today what is the gain of opposition PDP ? they said oshomole is causing APC to lose elective sit to PDP at the same time they are the one lamenting Oshomole and his party want to turn Nigeria to a one party state. i think the mistake of oshomole is by not stand on a direction concerning their party primary. whereas the real blame should go to their leader which is president that preferred not to interfere in the party internal crisis when he know clearly that APC is a party that filled with selfish,greedy and overambitious politicians. If APC like let them have a thousand of party chairs within a year it can solve their problem unless total controlling of the party is taking away from the governors. The situation in country could have been better if political big wings dont influence who emerge as parties candidates.
