The Arewa Youth Parliament (AYP) has warned Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, against making further unguarded utterances against the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan administration.

The group described as unacceptable the manner Governor Oshiomhole has abandoned the respect of the office of State Governor and become an emergency critic of former president Jonathan’s administration. It also asked President Muhammadu Buhari to call the governor to order immediately.

Speaking during a press conference held at his office, Kawo, Kaduna, the Kaduna State Chairman of the group, Ibrahim Garba Rigachikun, said it is worrisome that Oshiomhole,who was one of friends and close confidants of Jonathan, could eventually turn against him.

While stating that the Edo governor still sees himself campaign mode, or probably the bug of labour unionism when he held sway as NLC President, he emphasised that to deny the former President the peace that comes with retirement is a political misadventure.

According to Garba, Governor Oshiomhole first started with a tale by moonlight, when he claimed that a certain US official told him that the officials of the Jonathan administration were involved in large scale financial scandals only later a rebuttal by the US officials sent Governor Oshiomhole’s tale to the dustbin of history.

The chairman who also disclosed that the Governor proceeded to grant an interview to a weekend newspaper, where he said Nigerians would stone former President Jonathan if they knew how much his administration wronged them, said a good leader should avoid making statement capable of inciting public against a former leader. It was against background that he called on Oshiomhole to desist from media propaganda against the former President.

“It is uncalled for and unsuitable in this cooling off period to stir up tension, when Nigerians are expecting a string of developmental projects as promised them by his party during the 2015 electioneering campaigns,” he stressed.

He also advised the governor to switch from the campaign propaganda mode and emergency radicalism to do the needful to the people of Edo State.

“As a group of non-partisan young men, we believe the nation should move forward, away from unprogressive lamentations and hauling of unfounded allegations,” he stated.
