Adams Oshiomole, the immediate-past National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, has finally reacted to the dissolution of the National Working Committee NWC of the party.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Oshiomole said he has accepted the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Executive Committee NEC to dissolve the NWC he chaired for two years.
He, however, appreciated the President, who he described as the father of the party, for giving him the opportunity to contribute his quota to the development of the APC till Thursday.
Oshiomole noted that since President Buhari supported the dissolution of the NWC, he is bound to obey him as the leader of the party and follow the rules and regulations of the party.
He, however, pledged his loyalty to the ruling party, saying that his loyalty to President Buhari and the country remains unshaken.
According to him, the real test of his loyalty is not when things are going smoothly but when things suddenly become rough.
“Of course, we have now been dissolved and I have accepted that dissolution in good fate. I have always assured the President of my loyalty.
“I know it is easy for people to speak of loyalty when the going is good but loyalty is brought to the test when the going gets really tough,” he said.
He also expressed his joy that the APC under his leadership was able to work hard to ensure that unity returned to the Ninth Assembly.
Oshiomhole added that the emergence of Senate President, Ahmad Lawan and the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has helped the executive arm of government to succeed.
