Adams Oshiomhole has declared that he will be
running for APC chairmanship
- The former governor said he will be joined by top
members of the party
- According to him, he has what it takes to lead the
party
Former governor of Edo, Adams Oshiomhole, on
Wednesday, May 9, announced that he would
declare his bid for the national chairmanship of
All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on
Thursday.
He told newsmen in Benin that the president of
the Senate Bukola Saraki and House of
Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara, would
join top members of the party at the occasion.
Oshiomhole said that Imo governor, Rochas
Okorocha, would lead governors elected on the
party’s platform to the declaration which would
hold at TRANSCORP Hilton.
The former governor is favoured to replace
outgoing chairman of the party, Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, after he received the
endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Oshiomhole said he was joining the
chairmanship race to contribute to the growth of
the party.
According to him, it is true that I intend to make
my ambition known to our party members and
Nigerians.
“I strongly believe that with the experience I have gathered
in my public life, having served as President of NLC,
governor of Edo, I have what it takes to take our dear
party, the ruling party, to the next level," he said.
Meanwhile, there are indications that the ruling
All Progressives Congress (APC) is compiling a
‘unity list’ of a new set of its National Working
Committee (NWC) members .
Saturday Tribune reports that governors who are
perceived to be loyal to President Muhammadu
Buhari are believed to have finally endorsed
former Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomhole,
for the chairmanship of the party.
The governors who include Nasir El-Rufai
(Kaduna state), Yahaya Bello (Kogi state),
Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun state) and Rotimi
Akeredolu (Ondo state), reportedly endorsed him
after extracting commitments from him not to be
controlled by any leader other than President
Buhari.
The former governor reportedly gave the
assurance that he would be fair to all.
