Buhari’s ex-minister joins call for Oshiomhole’s removal

Former cabinet member of President Muhammadu Buhari and chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Adebayo Shittu has joined those calling for the resignation of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as national chairman of the party.

The Deputy National Chairman, North, Senator Lawal Shuaibu had last Tuesday made public the letter he wrote to Oshiomhole asking him to resign as chairman.

The deputy national chairman said Oshomhole has performed below expectation.

Speaking on the latest development in his party, Thursday in Abuja, Shittu said, “I endorse it.”

He stated further, the former Minister of Communications, who was disqualified by Oshiomhole from contesting the APC governorship ticket in Oyo state said, “The truth is with Oshiomhole this party would go down by the time President Muhammadu Buhari finishes his 2nd term. 

“Oshiomhole is full of himself and he has an ego problem and he wants to dominate every environment and democracy is not like that. I know that many of us who are conscionable members of the party, who think of the future of this party and the fact that this party should continue to be relevant even after President Muhammad Buhari has left office would stand by this call. We are concerned and everything that we can do to force him out, we will do it.”

Also, some National Working Committee (NWC) members who spoke in anonymity said the problem with Oshiomhole was that he wants to do everything. They said Oshiomhole was running every national office of the party.
