Even though Adams Oshiomole was perceived to have exited office as national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, due to a gang up against him, the fact remains his time as the national chairman of APC had and gone.
However, the last may not have been heard about the acrimony that was brought about between the former chairman, Oshiomole and those he believed ganged up to ensure his untimely exit from the office.
In a recent television interview, while Oshiomole recalled how the admiration President Buhari professed for him in the open initiated a gang up against, as well as how his perceived loyalty to Bola Tinubu added to his ‘sins’, the former governor of Edo stated in clear terms how Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti state clearly asked him to commit electoral fraud while he was the chairman but he refused.
Below is excerpts from the interview.
“I said it in one of the meetings I had with governor Kayode Fayemi who told me bluntly to my face that, “chairman, what we are saying is, you can go and conduct election to fulfil all righteousness, but when we say this is the person that should emerge, just make sure he is the person that emerge’.
“And I told governor Fayemi that, ‘that would be your own portion not me’. I cannot be used as an instrument of fraud, to invite people to buy forms when I have already decided, regardless of how people will vote, this is the man that will prevail.
“You want to use me for such a purpose, I said no, I said at worst, if you find the number to get rid of me, I will rather leave the job with my honour than sacrifice my honour to keep the job,”
