The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has reiterated that God may punish former President Obasanjo for supporting opposition presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 elections.
Atiku accuses APC of Buying Permanent Voter Cards
According to Oshiomhole, his statement is based on a statement made some years ago by the former President that God should punish him if he ever supported Atiku Abubakar to be president.
Oshiomhole made this statement when he received APC women leaders from Edo State and Abuja, who had paid him a solidarity visit in his office in Aso Drive, Abuja.
Oshiomole said Nigeria could not afford to return to the era where owners of private jets had business addresses just because they had connections with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
“We know there are people across the divide who are fighting back. There is a gang up by those who are used to sucking the system without adding any value but Nigerians will not allow that,” he said.
Oshiomhole further boasted that the 2019 election would be a smooth for President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC because the ethnic and religious sentiments that characterised the 2015 election lost by former president Goodluck Jonathan would not occur in this election.
He continued;
“The two candidates are from the North and they are both Muslims. People are now going to look at the character. Nobody has ever say Buhari is a thief. But who said the other person is a thief? it was his boss.
When you are working with me and I said you are a thief, God will punish me if I support you. And when you are confused because your supply line has been chopped off, you now turned around to support the same person. That God that you called with your name to punish you if you supported the person is about to go to work. And HE will go to work in February and HE will punish him thoroughly and the person he is supporting, in favour of Nigeria.”
