APC faring better under my watch – Oshiomhole

Adams Oshiomhole

National chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, says the party is doing better under his watch.

Oshiomhole, who is believed to be in leadership tussle with Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, said on Monday that he was providing good leadership for the ruling party.

He said this after his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House.

According to him, Nigerians are appreciating APC better under his leadership.

Oshiomhole’s predecessor, John Odigie-Oyegun, had severally accused him of destabilising the party especially in relation to the crisis in the Edo State House of Assembly.

Apparently unruffled, Oshiomhole said APC now has more members in the National Assembly and is also controlling the leadership of the two legislative chambers.

He also said that APC under his watch was able to dislodge the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and his allies politically.

The former Edo State governor mocked the major opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying the party is in turmoil.

Oshiomhole added that President Buhari was magnanimous to have nominated up to two ministers each from states that contributed less than five per cent of the president’s votes in the 2019 presidential election.
