My removal as APC Nat’l chair had Buhari backing – Oshiomhole

• The former National Chairman disclosed that Buhari did not intervene to stop the gang up against him by governors.

A former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, says former President, Muhammadu Buhari, looked away during his ordeal as national chairman of the All Progressives Congress.

Oshiomhole spoke at the launch of a book “APC and Transition Politics”, authored by Salihu Lukman, in Abuja on Tuesday, where he recounted events that led to his removal as the National Chairman of the ruling party.

The former National Chairman disclosed that Buhari did not intervene to stop the gang up against him by governors.

According to Oshiomhole, Buhari was a president who never intervened in a crisis, even the one within his political party.

He, therefore, warned the current National Chairman of the party, Abdulahi Ganduje to be prepared because, according to him, the governors are going to play the same card against him.

“Chairman sir, if you have not faced it already, you will face it. The only difference is if the president decides to intervene and moderate. In my own case, we have a president who was not ready to intervene,” he said.

Oshiomhole further revealed that the APC gifted Kwara State N800 million to support the “O to ge” movement that led to the victory of the party in the state.
