Oshiomhole Incapable Of Handling ‘Unexploded Bombs’ Oyegun Left Behind – Shehu Sani

Lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani, has said that the newly elected National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole may not be able to address the problems left behind by the immediate past chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.

He made the statement while speaking with journalists during the launch of a book on the former Kaduna State Governor, Balarabe Musa in Abuja.

He revealed that he will in a short time, announce his defection from the ruling party, adding that his decision was due to the antics of the incumbent State Governor Ahmed Nasir El-Rufai.

He said: “I believe in Adams Oshiomhole, I believe in his track record and I believe he is somebody who has the desire to put things right in the party.

“He is a capable hand, a revolutionary and a true comrade but Chief John Odigie-Oyegun left behind unexploded bombs in the party, which certainly may be beyond Oshiomhole’s capacity to address.

“I believe there are some of these problems he can solve and there are those he cannot. Those he cannot solve are the ones that were laid.

“I wish Adams had come earlier because like I said, these grenades that were laid by the former chairman will explode in a matter of days.”

Sani said, “It is also very clear to us that even President Muhammadu Buhari is incapable of tackling the menace of the governor of Kaduna state.

“How can a governor, openly called for violence against Senators and not a statement came from the seat of power cautioning such a governor?

“How can a governor move bulldozers and demolish a house of a fellow party member, the one who helped him to be where he is and there is not even a statement from the presidency?

“The governor uses the machinery of the state to emasculate political opponents. He even framed me for murder and there was no statement that came from the presidency to caution such a governor.

“Virtually Kaduna state under governor El-Rufai does not create conducive environment for any of us to remain in that party (APC).”

The Senator also said, “There were three attempts to resolve the Kaduna APC crisis; there was Inuwa Abdulkadir committee which was never respected by the governor, there was the governor Masari- led committee which was also not respected and there as you can see, Tinubu’s attempt to reconcile members of the party was simply naturalized and abandoned. So we are not slaves to continue to be in that party.”
