Defection: Juicy Appointments Brought Nigeria To Where We Are – Oshiomhole

Adams Oshiomhole

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has described the defection of some party leaders as a manifestation of the anti-corruption campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

He said this on Friday at the airport in Benin City, the Edo State capital, while reacting to the defection of Senate President Bukola Saraki, some lawmakers and two governors to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The APC chairman claimed that those leaving the APC never had the progress of Nigeria in mind and wondered why it was when they left the party that they realised that the government was not doing enough.

He said; “Some people say juicy appointments were not shared to them; how can an appointment be juicy if it is about the people? This concept of juicy appointments is what has brought Nigeria to where we are.

“If you have a system where even those who lead the government – a section – opportunistically turn around and begin to blame certain aspect of the government, then you will wonder what you the ordinary citizen should do.

“I am very satisfied that we have had to filter out some people and reaffirm that the party cannot be run at the mercy of any individual.

“If this is what Nigerians have been used to, I didn’t promise to continue more of the same. I promised to be different and work consciously to recruit allies who believe in the progressive politics and I believe that we are doing well.”
