President Muhammadu Buhari, Former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu and other APC leaders will meet in Abuja next week to determine the fate of the embatlled National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomole.
According to Punch Newspaper report the APC National Leader, Bola Tinubu had met with Oshiomole in Paris, France to get the true picture of his ordeals in the hands of the DSS. as well as the plot by aggreived party governors to remove him from office.
It was reported some aggrieved governors had begun reaching out to members of the National Working Committee to ask Oshiomhole to step aside pending the outcome of the DSS probe.
“The fact that Oshiomhole is under investigation for allegedly collecting money from aspirants is bad for the image of the APC government which claims to be fighting corruption. “It is for this reason that the NWC members are being asked (by interested parties) to push for the suspension of the APC chairman pending the outcome of the probe. The President’s body language and actions in the coming days will determine Oshiomhole’s fate. For now, we are still considering it but we don’t want to make any hasty decision until we are sure that we have the President’s backing.”A member of the party’s NWC told Punch Newspaper.
Aside Buhari and Tinubu, other party leaders expected at the Abuja meeting include: Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, pioneer Interim National Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu (as former chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party), and Prince Tony Momoh (former National Chairman of the Congress for Progressive Change).
