A former Commissioner of Information in Edo State, Chief Charles Idahosa has revealed that the National Assembly is attacking President Muhammadu Buhari because of the removal of Adams Oshiomole as national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
It will be recalled that Oshiomole was removed last month following his fallout with his successor and Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki. Speaking in a recent interview with Independent, Idahosa said;
“I have been following the activities of the National Assembly and the Ministers. The truth of the matter is that a lot of Nigerians have no clear picture of what they are dealing with. I think the whole issue started after the dissolution of the National Working Committee (NWC) and the removal of Adams Oshiomhole as the national chairman. Like I have always said whether people care to listen or not, what we are witnessing right now is an attempt by the National Assembly led by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan and Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila to frustrate and deal with the executive arm of government so that they can prove who really is in charge of government.”
“As far I am concerned, what is also happening is a fight for the 2023 presidency. We all know who Adams Oshiomhole is rooting for as candidate for the 2023 presidency. So, what we are witnessing right now is a fight to show who is in charge especially when you consider the manner in which APC was formed. The biggest partner in that merger which produced APC is Bola Tinubu from Lagos. He came into the merger with the highest number of governors and legislators. In the first tenure, we all saw what happened in the 8th national assembly and that is the same thing that is happening now. I know Oshiomhole inside out and what he is capable of. I was his Political Adviser for eight years. He gave the President the impression that he was doing his bidding with the election of the principal officers of the 9th national assembly but he was only pursuing his selfish interests and that of his preferred choice for the 2023 presidential election.”
“Now that he has been thrown out, they want to make sure they destabilise the presidency and the federal government in preparation for their final breakdown of the party. During the governorship primary of the Edo APC, Oshiomhole said the rubber-stamp NWC which he headed is the High Court, the Appeal Committee is the Court of Appeal and he himself is the Supreme Court. That is what we are seeing now. It’s an organised attempt to paint the government in bad light. Those calling the current national assembly rubber stamp are wrong. They are not rubber stamp but are only doing what they were instructed to do. That was exactly what they did in Edo. We all saw the video of his younger brother, Seid Aliyu Oshiomhole where he said ‘ Gbajabiamila and Lawan dey pursue us with dollars’ . At that time, I granted interviews telling the National Assembly to disown that statement but they never listened to me. That was the same thing he wanted to do when he wanted to plant 14 legislators in Edo state House of Assembly so that he can hold the governor to ransom.”
APC IS EVIL……….BUT GOD IS REALLY AT WORK. BY THE TIME HE FINISHES IT. THEIR LEADERS WILL SEE. RUBBISH
