The former governor of Edo State, Senator Adams Oshiomole, has been urged to focus on his role as a senator to ensure his constituents benefit from democracy.
This advice comes from the Coalition for Sustainable Political Leadership (COSPOL), Ogun State Chapter. The coordinator, Adeola Matanmi, expressed concerns about Oshiomole’s recent comments on his removal as chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that such remarks betray a divisive attitude unbecoming of a team player.
According to the group, the outbursts by the former Edo State governor betrayed a vendetta that is unsavory for anyone whose position imposes upon him to be a team player, stressing that he is definitely not the one and reason for his ouster from office.
The group’s position was contained in a statement signed by its State Coordinator, Adeola Matanmi and made available to Vanguard in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital yesterday.
“What is discernible from the outbursts by Oshiomole is that, were he to have power over those he perceived as political enemies, he would have taken vengeance upon them without restraint. Thankfully enough such luxuries are not available to him”.
“From making careless statements unbecoming of an acclaimed progressive politician, to wanting to muscle his ways where consensus is the only path, Oshiomhole set for himself many bobby-traps that eventually exploded in his face as chairman of the party then”.
“His allegation that Senator Amosun was disloyal to former President Muhammadu Buhari goes against every grain of the truth as both men still enjoy the best of relations even after leaving office”.
