The former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has boasted that he left the office with integrity and honour.
Speaking with Channels TV on Monday, May 16, Oshiomhole noted that even President Muhammadu Buhari sometime in Benin, Edo state capital, stated in an open forum that the APC needed him.

According to the former Edo governor, that is when he started having problems with his enemies.
He claimed that at the time, the governor of Ekiti, Kayode Fayemi, approached him and asked him to accept whoever he and other members of a top APC cabal brought to him during elections.

However, the former unionist said he told Governor Fayemi that that will never be his portion as he can never be used as an instrument of fraud to invite people to buy APC forms and convince them that they are going for primaries when he was expected to have preferred candidates in mind.

But reacting to the allegation, Fayemi, through his media aide, Yinka Oyebode, has described it as false and laughable.
In a statement seen by Vanguard, Oyebode said:
“The allegation, which was made on national television, is not only false, puerile, and laughable, it is a figment of the imagination of the former APC Chairman as Governor Fayemi has never asked Oshiomhole to rig any election for him or any other person and never had any reason to ask for such.
“Members of the public are therefore urged to disregard the allegations by Comrade Oshiomhole, who apparently is still experiencing a post-traumatic stress disorder on account of his removal as Chairman of APC.
“It is on record, Dr Fayemi was not responsible for Comrade Oshiomhole’s removal as Chairman of the APC. He has his ward executives and the courts to blame for that..."
