Adams Oshiomhole, former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken the Director-General of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Dr. Salihu Lukman to the cleaners for saying that some influential party chieftains are plotting to return him as the national chairman of the party.

He said; “You want me to engage in a fight with a pig? If you engage in a fight with a pig, the pig already is stained by its nature and you will wear your white garment, and in my own case, khaki, to go and wrestle with a pig. I will not.”

“When I was removed as national chairman, Edo was APC. So, do I have to win Edo to become the chairman? Do I look so unemployed? I’m 68.”

“So, what they don’t understand is that it is not the office of chairman that made me who I am.”

“It is my pedigree from my days as a labourer in the textile industry to be the general secretary of textile workers all over Nigeria and becoming the president of the NLC.”

“There is no village I go to that people do not know me and it is this that I used to override the godfathers in Edo State for two consecutive terms and even got a governor elected, no violence before becoming the national chairman.”
