Why we didn’t celebrate Oshiomhole’s sack, by Ondo Govt

Ondo State Government yesterday described as mischievous a report making the rounds that members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state jubilate over the removal of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as the party’s National Chairman by the Court of Appeal.
Instead, Commissioner for Information, Mr. Donald Ojogo during a press briefing emphasized that the members and the leaders of the party were deeply concerned over the development as against the narrative being peddled around.

Ojogo, who was reacting to an online publication following its report that the state chapter of the APC jubilated over the Appeal Court verdict said that the report was the handiwork of those trying to cause bad blood between Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and the leaders of the party.

Ojogo said: “On Tuesday, every well-meaning member of the party was concerned when the Appeal Court gave its verdict. The level of concern may vary but as leaders and members of APC in Ondo State we were greatly concerned not because of any personal reason but because we felt that the party didn’t need whatever intrigues that may shake the table at this point in time. So, like every other member of the party nationwide, we were all concerned.

“But we found very shocking when a news item that was promoted in one of these platforms, specifically, the Western Post saying that supporters of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu jubilating over the decision of the appeal court.
“We have resolved that we must put the record straight. We are coming to this point not because we’re rattled by the report but we see it as a very untoward part and it is a trajectory we must stop from flourishing.
“The author of that report in all intents and purposes wanted to create an unexisting frosty relationship between Mr. Governor and the leadership of the APC. By every standard and by every yardstick that could be deployed to measure anything, Mr. Governor is the leader of the party and as such, he will be so disturbed if there are crisis in the party.”
