I was sacked as APC national chairman via zoom – Oshiomhole

Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has addressed how he was sacked as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC. 

Speaking during an interview on AIT, Oshiomole said he was sacked through zoom at the Aso Rock Villa. 

He stated that it was through his hardwork that Muhammadu Buhari won the 2015 presidential election. However, he said he was fired via Zoom after the party stabilised. 

Oshiomhole said: “I led my party to victory under Buhari. With my colleague in the National Working Committee, NWC, we were able to fix the leadership tussle of the National Assembly, both the Senate and the House Representatives effortlessly. 

“Our president didn’t have to run around the country to talk to people. We did the marketing, explanation, persuasion and all the tools available to manage democracy. 

“Once the system got stabilized, I was sacked through a Zoom, and when people couldn’t get me removed democratically, they claimed that eight members of my Ward signed a petition that they passed a vote of no confidence on me. 

“And on that basis they took the matter to the court, which granted their interim order. I appealed the order. The Court of Appeal quashed it. Three weeks later, the Court of Appeal called us back and restated the order. A few days later, I saw for the first time a National Executive Council, NEC, held by Zoom in the villa.”
