National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole, has said that he has been vindicated on his comments that
Senate President Bukola Saraki left the party because of his personal
ambition and not because he had the interest of the nation at heart.
Oshiomhole, in a meeting with APC leaders from Kwara State, said the
declaration of the Senate President to contest the presidential ticket
on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had vindicated
him.
The Chief Press Secretary to Oshiomhole, Simon Ebegbulem, quoted the
APC Chairman as saying, “When I was saying that all these defections is
not about APC but the personal ambition of these people, they took hired
writers to say I was being too hard. But Saraki’s declaration has
vindicated me.
“Thank God he has moved on, because his inordinate ambition was almost destroying our party, but he has failed.
“These are not principled politicians but bread-and-butter
politicians who can go the extra mile to pursue their selfish ambitions
and never think about the well-being of Nigerians.
“As things stands today, APC remains the darling of the Nigerian
people because PDP is the vomit of yesterday and our people will not
chew it back today; not under three and half years. People have not
forgotten and people will never forget.
“In fact, a senior palace chief in Nigeria said this generation of
Nigerians will not forgive the PDP in a hurry. Even to say you want to
forgive, you must do reparation.
“The damage they did to our economy, the damage they did to our
electoral process, even the culture of rigging was institutionalised by
them. They introduced do or die politics.
“They are the ones buying weapons for young people to go into
thuggery while their own children are schooling abroad. They introduced
all these vices.”
