Oshiomhole’s Contributions Can Never Be Undervalued In APC – Tinubu

All Progressives Congress (APC) National leader, Sen. Bola Tinubu has come out to blast moves by some party leaders to remove National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, from office.

Tinubu, via a recent statement, criticized the current ploys and plots to undermine Oshiomhole.

According to him, Adams is human and he has his own merits and flaws so his humanity should not be grounds for his dismissal.

He added that Oshiomhole ha been a tireless campaigner and mobilizer for the party and his contributions can never be undervalued in APC.

His words, “The Chairman has been a tireless campaigner and mobiliser for the party; he has steered the party through difficult elections and his contributions should not be undervalued now that the bulk of elections are behind us.

“To do so would be an act of ingratitude, It is no secret that Oshiomhole and Edo Governor Obaseki are in dispute which is unfortunate.”

“All party members know that such decisions are part and parcel of internal party governance, yet they shunned the agreed party reconciliation mechanism and resorted to other means to oust him.”

“Those engaged in these maneuvers see themselves as clever or cunning; they do so because they only understand the mean craft of political intrigue.

”They have yet to understand the value and long-term utility of democratic governance and that is why they embark on the strangest of quest.

“They would rather dismantle and weaken the institutional core of their party just to gain control of that weakened edifice in order to pilfer the party nomination, which they crave.”

“To be an APC member means more than merely carrying a membership card, It means to believe in a set of ideals and principles geared to our highest purpose as a party and a nation.

“In a broader context, those afflicted with the 2023 virus do a grave disservice to President Buhari and his administration.

“They should be trying their best to help the president, instead of seeing him as the present leader and commander-in-chief who would soon exit the post.

“How can they be committed to helping him realise his mandate when the fullness of their gaze is affixed to seizing this very mandate for themselves.”

“We must rally around Buhari instead of everyone saying they are working for the party and nation but going their separate ways based on their selfish designs.

“We must help him build a stronger national consensus on policies that will ensure safety and bring greater prosperity; If need be we must offer ideas and suggestions that move policy and progress forward.

“This is the time for governance, it is not the moment to bring the politics of 2023 into 2020 because in due course, 2023 shall come and nothing can prevent it.”
