• APC chair not suspended, Court rules

President Muhammadu Buhari has kept mum on the renewed plot to remove the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. The intrigues to remove Oshiomhole, who emerged as the national chairman of the party in June 2018, thickened on Wednesday when an Abuja high court presided over by Justice Danlami Senchi ordered the party to stop recognising him pending the determination of a substantive suit seeking his perpetual removal.

Since the court order, Daily Trust gathered that those pushing for Oshiomhole’s removal have intensified efforts to perfect their plot even as those in his camp were leaving no stone unturned to foil the bid. As the controversy rages on, Daily Trust reports that the presidency has however kept mum on the matter. Meanwhile, immediately after a Federal High Court sitting in Kano granted Oshiomhole’s prayers against the Abuja ruling, he rushed to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where he met with President Buhari.

Our correspondent reports that at the end of the meeting, no statement was issued by presidential spokespersons. When contacted, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, did not reply to a text message sent by our correspondent on the matter.

But while speaking after the meeting with reporters Oshiomhole said a minister and some governors were plotting to remove him as the party’s national chairman. He did not disclose their names. “Let me say that those behind this plot, the hands you saw which includes as you saw yesterday (Wednesday), the Edo State governor and his people jubilating but that is the irony of life that you will help give birth to a child and the child look for cutlass to want to chop off your neck. It has happened in history, it has happened in this country so I won’t be the only person.

“But there are other forces that see me for whatever reason as a threat to them. And those leading this anti-Oshiomhole campaign, some of them I emphasise, cannot even boost of a councillor in their state even as they lay claim to leadership position in our party,” he said. Oshiomhole also said some of those plotting to get rid of him are doing so because they wanted to be president in 2023.

The only thing keeping APC as a party together is the personality of General Buhari and the respect he commend amongst the numerous power blocs.

Oshiomole is a small fry in the scheme of things, which is why he will keep running to Buhari for survival and fear of Banana peel treatments.

Lol. Oshiomole

And how does that affect a cup of Garri in the market?

The court just flipped the switch, flip flip

Only a matter of time before Oshiomhole is shown the door.
