Aisha Buhari, APC governors allegedly move against Oshiomhole
Oshiomhole, All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, from
accessing the President's residence in the Aso Villa, Abuja.
Aisha was said to have insisted that Oshiomhole should rather hold
meetings with her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, in his office.
The development may not be unconnected with her position that the APC
has been hijacked.
A source told DAILY POST that the Aisha's action was in reaction to
recent developments in the party.
"She too has lost out in the scheme of things. She also insists
Oshiomhole has an overbearing attitude.
"Things were a bit better under Oyegun (former APC chairman), because
he was more diplomatic in his approach".
Suleiman Haruna, her spokesman, did not pick up phone calls.
Earlier in the month, Aisha called out the ruling party after her
brother, Dr. Mahmood Halilu Ahmed, lost the Adamawa governorship
ticket of APC to Governor Bindow.
In a post on her social media page, Aisha condemned what she called
impunity in the APC.
She said: "It is disheartening to note that some aspirants used their
hard earned money to purchase nomination forms, got screened, cleared
and campaigned vigorously yet found their names omitted on Election
Day, these forms were bought at exorbitant prices.
"Many others contested and yet had their result delayed. Fully knowing
that AUTOMATIC tickets have been given to other people.
"All Progressives Congress being a party whose cardinal principle is
change and headed by a comrade/activist whose main concern is for the
common man, yet, such impunity could take place under its watch."
Before the primary, Ahmed wrote a petition to the APC national
chairman demanding reconstitution of Adamawa Gubernatorial Election
Committee.
Meanwhile, 15 of 21 governors of the party are reportedly collecting
signatures to convene a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting
that would unseat the national chairman.
According to reports, the governors would be storming Abuja on Tuesday
to finalise the plan.
Some of them lost out at the party's primaries and have accused
Oshiomhole of working against them.
In an apparent reaction, Oshiomhole had accused some top party members
of planning to remove him.
