APC convention: Win or lose, I’ll continue to work for party - Oshiomhole
- The former Edo state governor Adams Oshiomhole has spoken about the APC chairmanship seat
- Oshiomhole said the process of election is more important than the outcome
- The former governor who saw the screening as an examination, said he had done his best
A chairmanship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole on Monday, June 11, declared that he will continue to work for the success of the ruling party, whether he wins the slot or not.
Premium Times reports that Oshiomhole made his position known while addressing journalists after his screening at the Katsina governor’s lodge Asokoro Abuja.
According to him, “The process of election is more important than the outcome. The process is better than the outcome. I am satisfied not because I am chairman but because my party is in power and my commitment is not just to be chairman.

“Chairman or no chairman, I work hard and I will continue to work hard to see that our party retains power at the centre and also retains power in many more states and many more senators so we can have the energy we need to deepen the change and sustain the changes.”
Oshiomhole, who saw the screening as an examination, said he did his best and “it is now left for the committee to decide”.
He added: “When you write you sit for exam and write your papers, you try to do your best trusting your examiners will find your answers good enough to give you a pass or even a distinction. That will lie within their discretion but I can only say I did my best.

“I think the issues are basically about going forward. Nobody should seek to lead if you do not have, first, a level of understanding what the challenges are, before you can’t do prescription without diagnosis and fortunately I have been a founding member. I was one of the governors that participated in the merger meetings.
“I understand the mission and vision of the APC because we were founding persons so I know what our dream was and the gap between that dream and the current reality. And I am also clear as to what to do differently so that dream is realised.”
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Oshiomhole boasted of defeating fellow contestants at the party's June 23 national convention, saying that he has solid support base across the country.
Those battling for the seat of APC chairman with Oshimhole include his predecessor, Professor Oserheimen Osunbor; former Cross River governor, Clement Ebri; and Chief Ibrahim Emokpaire.
