APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and Interpol to help track down the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, believed to be on the run outside the country since his reported interrogation by the Department of State Services (DSS) over alleged corruption charges.
The party noted that Oshiomhole’s swift flight out of the country, at the heat of the investigation goes to confirm allegations that the Muhammadu Buhari Presidency is shielding him from prosecution for fear that his investigation would implicate certain interests at the Presidency and APC.
According to a statement signed by PDP National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, issued on Thursday in Abuja, “It is ludicrous that the APC, in its lying proclivities, believes that by dismissing Oshiomhole’s arrest as a rumour and aiding him to momentarily flee the country, it would succeed in getting him off the DSS hook as well as sweeping the matter out of public discourse with its famished broom.”
The statement added: “No! Nigerians are already aware that Oshiomhole has not denied his investigation, including his reported confession that the Presidency was in the loop of all his actions.
“The PDP had always cautioned Adams Oshiomhole of his unbridled arrogance, lust for power and alleged embezzlement of public funds for which he must surely have his day in the hands of the law.”
PDP demanded that APC and the Buhari Presidency must immediately produce Adams Oshiomhole to face investigation and prosecution in courts.
