Senator Ibikunle Amosun has taken Senator Adams Oshiomhole to the cleaners.

He said: “What Senator Oshiomhole was alleged to have said, apart from being far from the truth, is a calculated attempt to present water while drinking wine.”

“The Yoruba adage says, “If you let a mad man bury his mum the way it pleases him, he could roast her for a meal. At that point, the community is to blame for his choice.”

“Indeed, listening to him on Tuesday, his utterances represent some inherent inade­quacy, which he vented, not just at inauspicious times, but without basis and predicated only on lies to hoodwink the unsuspecting.”

“It is not in doubt that I have participated fully in the formation and sustenance of our party, the APC, and I can boldly say that the party under Adams Oshiomhole conducted one of the worst pri­maries in the history of Nigeria’s contemporary politics and ended up shopping for his own enemies, leading to his eventual removal as chairman of our party.”

“Nigerians should not be in a hurry to forget the allegations that preceded the conduct of those primaries and his eventual invita­tion by the Department of State Service (DSS) to clarify certain grave allegations.”

“If anyone was in doubt that Senator Oshiomhole posed the biggest and most destructive threat to the existence of the APC at that time, and the party’s best bet was to dispose of a canon fold­er that he was and unfortunately still is, his utterances and grand­standing on Tuesday at an occasion to find solutions to our democratic and party chal­lenges, would have cleared such mindset.”

“If he wanted to insult our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, he could have come out boldly to do so. But his subtle at­tempt to pass snide remarks at him failed the simple test of loy­alty because the former president also moved from his own party to merge with other like-minds to form the APC.”

“Also, if he is seeking favour from the presidency, why not come out and do so? But to tell barefaced lies that, ‘You are work­ing for your paymaster in Lagos, paymaster in Bourdillon,’ is cheap but typical of an individual, who suddenly found himself where he never dreamt of, despite his obvious limitations – education and exposure.”

“If the public will remember, soon after Senator Oshiomhole was sworn in as a senator”
