National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole had an experience to forget at President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s second term inauguration at the Eagle Square, Abuja today.
Oshiomhole was walked off the line on national television for breaching protocol at the event.
While the representatives of two arms of government, the Legislature, and the Judiciary stood in a file to welcome the president along with serving service chiefs, Oshiomole stood close to the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mohammed Tanko.
Shortly after, one of the service chiefs walked up to Oshiomole and walked him out of the waiting line because he bore no constitutionally recognised position to stand in as part of the parade.
Watch video:
So, Adams Oshiomhole is too conceited to realise that Inauguration is a State occasion not a party event?! pic.twitter.com/T6OqNGMls1

This is coming following calls for his resignation as National Chairman of the party.
The party chairman’s gaffe did not go unnoticed on social media.
