Oshiomhole accused of using Peter Obi's popularity


Adams Oshiomhole, who served as the former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has come under fire for the most recent comments he made against Peter Obi, who is running for president as a candidate for the Labour Party (LP).

It was suggested that Oshiomhole was trying to gain significance by capitalizing on Obi's fame.

The previous National Chairman of the APC had criticized Obi for his ineffectiveness in addressing the issue of security when he was serving as Governor of Anambra State.

Oshiomhole, speaking at a youth forum in Abuja, stated that the immediate previous Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, made some significant efforts toward reducing insecurity since Obi failed to do so during his time.

He remembered how, shortly after gaining government, Obiano demolished residences in Anambra State that were being used by kidnappers.

Oshiomhole said that Bakassi Boys had been living in the homes that were subsequently destroyed by the administration of Obiano.

"Who served as governor throughout the time of Bakassi's development, and who found a solution to the problem? Therefore, if a guy cannot overcome a threat to the safety of his own state, that shows a lack of bravery on his own. How exactly does he plan to persuade you that he would resolve the security issues that plague all of Nigeria?

"Don't take it from me; instead, get on over to YouTube and research the first six to nine months of Governor Obiano's tenure. Then, ask yourself: who served as Governor Obiano's predecessor? It will identify itself to you as Peter.

"Will Obiano be employing bulldozers to demolish the homes of kidnappers, Bakassi boys and girls, and bandits if he has resolved the security issue?"

The Conference of Civil Society for Peace and Good Governance Initiative (CCSFPGG), a Civil Society Organization, condemned Oshiomhole's comment by describing the former governor of Edo State as an insignificant politician looking for relevance through Obi's popularity, after having failed political outings both at the national and Edo State levels. CCSFPGG described the former governor as an inconsequential politician.

In a statement that was released, the organization made these claims. The statement was signed by the National Coordinator of the organization, Dr. Oshioke Mathew Afegbua, and the Director of Internal Security Research, Hajiya Maryam Mohammed.

The organization cautioned Nigerians to be aware of Oshiomhole because he is frantically trying to establish himself as a relevant political figure.

The following is an excerpt from the statement that was released: "Oshiomhole is the least politician in Nigeria to trash Peter Obi, who has become Nigeria's most popular option for the next general election."

"We have not forgotten that while Oshiomhole was governor of Edo, he controlled the state like a tin-pot dictator on the basis of hollow populism,"

"Oshiomhole was instrumental in forcing the waning government of the APC upon the Nigerian people.

"Under the stewardship of this administration, the value of human life has been reduced to none. The nation has deteriorated into a slaughterhouse where defenseless people are randomly put to death.

The organization strongly recommended that Oshiomhole issue an apology to the people of Nigeria for the suffering he had caused them.

"We urge Oshiomhole and his party to apologize to Nigerians for the pain they have put them in, rather than talking down on the most popular presidential candidate in the history of Nigeria," the statement continued. "We urge Oshiomhole and his party to apologize to Nigerians for the pain they have put them in."
