The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said the national chairman of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole, should be probed
and made to face the full wrath of the law over allegations of him
receiving bribes during the party’s recent primaries.
Secretary, Edo State chapter of the PDP, Hon. Felix Imoisili, stated
this on Wednesday in an exclusive interview with DAILY POST.
Oshiomhole was reportedly grilled by the Department of State
Services, DSS, operatives for nine hours after some APC governors
alleged that he received bribes during the party’s primary elections
across the country.
Reacting, Imoisili said Oshiomhole no longer had the immunity he enjoyed as governor, hence, was not above the law.
His words: “If somebody has committed an infraction of the law, he
should be made to face the wrath of law, because the law is not a
respecter of persons.
“If in the course of the APC primaries he (Oshiomhole) did certain
things that at variance with what the law says; that is, the extant
laws, he should be made the full wrath of the law.
“There is nobody above the law. The rule of law must be obeyed. We
are not looking at his office. The position he currently occupies does
not give him immunity. Nobody is bigger than the Nigerian legal system.”
Recall that the APC spokesman, Lanre Issa-Onilu, had said the party was not officially informed about the DSS detention of the national chairman of the party, hence, only Oshiomhole could either confirm or deny the report.
