MENTION A NAME! Or I will sue you, Oshiomhole threatens Saraki
The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has threatened to sue the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
Oshiomohle asked Saraki to mention one aspirant that gave him money to influence the decision of the National Working Committee in his favour.
The former Edo governor was reacting to Saraki’s that he had no moral grounds to remain in office for allegedly receiving monies from some persons to influence the decision of the NWC in their favour.
Oshiomhole, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Simon Ebegbulem, described the attack on him by the Senate president as unwarranted, pathetic and irresponsible resort to petty politics.
He said that Saraki is a usurper of and pretender to the position of Senate President, adding that he has no moral grounds to call for his resignation as national chairman of the APC.
The statement said,
“It is sad that Saraki, who just woke up from slumber occasioned by his crushing defeat at the Port Harcourt presidential primary of his party, could degenerate to such a low level.
“It is equally sad, but not unexpected, that Saraki, who is politically drowning, would make such libelous comments against the national chairman of the APC. And I challenge Saraki to mention one name of an aspirant that gave money to the National Chairman or we file a legal action against him.
“Whereas the basis on which he made those comments was tenuous and unjustifiable, it is on record that Saraki has been in the eye of investigations by the EFCC and the ICPC for sundry cases of corruption.
“That is the same man that has taken it upon himself to question Comrade Oshiomhole’s credibility.”
“We challenge him to mention one person who has claimed that he gave money to Oshiomhole to influence him and the decision of the party’s national working committee in the just-concluded primary elections.
‘We insist that Saraki with his kind of prebendal politics is nothing but a monumental disgrace to the nation’s democracy.”
