The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has alleged that the recent meeting of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), was meant to
create disharmony in the governance of Nigeria.
Oshiomole made the allegation on Thursday while addressing
journalists after a reconciliatory meeting with aggrieved Bayesla State governorship
aspirants held at the party secretariat in Abuja.
He said: “Let me also
say that, watching the news and reading the papers over the period, we see that
the meeting that PDP held in Dubai, part of the decision they took at those
meetings was to come back home and begin to throw bag of lies and untruth with
a view to creating a distraction and even creating disharmony within the
governance of Nigeria.”
The APC leader said he was surprised that the PDP abandoned
the old age and dragged judiciary into the murky waters of politics.
Oshiomhole said that he was shocked that the PDP and its agent, the Coalition of United
Political Parties (CUPP), claimed during
a press conference that the new judges that are about to be appointed was meant
to favour the ruling party at the supreme court.
He noted, “Now the question is, should the Supreme Court be
denied the appointment of all the judges they need, should we say because
election matters are in tribunal, Supreme Court judges should not be
appointed.”
The national chairman stressed that the main opposition
party was already in its old traditional way, seeking to infiltrate, to dictate
and blackmail the judiciary.
The national chairman also completely disassociated himself
and members of his party from 2023 presidential election posters.
He added: “I stand here as National Chairman of APC not only
to deny those posters as they affect me, but to deny those posters as they
affect any leader of our party because it is not yet time. Even people who may have ambition are aware
that this is not the time.”
Oshiomhole said that at this point in time all hands must be
on deck to support President Muhammadu Buhari and all APC State governors in
their respective states to work together unanimously to deliver deliverables
for the good of the people in the states and at the federal level.
Oshiomhole stressed that this is not the time to talk
politics, adding that politics cannot be an all-round season, insisting that the
season for politics is over.
He added that all the APC members are committed to backing
the president to deliver dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
