The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, VON, and chieftain of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, in Enugu State, Osita Okechukwu, has
told the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to
humbly resign instead of ‘running’ abroad.
The former Governor of
Edo State is currently locking horns with some leaders and Governors of
the party who believe he was involved in some shoddy deals during the
party primaries.
The VON DG said this at a media briefing at the
party’s national secretariat in Abuja yesterday, where he also stated
that he had earlier advised Oshiomhole to resign honourably but he
refused.
The VON DG said, “Penultimate week, I joined the league
of APC moral leaders, faithful and men of good conscience to call on
Comrade Adams Oshiohmole, to honourably resign forthwith as the
chairmanship of our great party.
“In his usual narcissistic disposition, he refused.
“As the ‘Oshiohmole Must Go’ wave raged, the Department of State Services got wind of it.
“They
interrogated him and I patiently waited to read from Comrade Oshiomhole
and his spin doctors over his tango with the DSS, in the social or
mainstream media, neither rebuttal nor denial came from them.
“I,
therefore, once again stridently call on Comrade Oshiomhole to instead
of pontification, grandstanding and running away from the country, do
the needful by honourably resigning the chairmanship of our great
party.”
