The
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, on Sunday
denied meeting with the party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, over his
encounter with the Department of State Services.
Oshiomhole,
who had reportedly been quizzed by the DSS over the party’s primaries but
maintained that he only had an interaction with the security outfit, explained
that there was no reason for him to go to London to talk with Tinubu because he
could easily meet him in Lagos.
Speaking
with journalists shortly after an interdenominational thanksgiving service to
mark the second year in office of his successor, Governor Godwin Obaseki, in
Benin City, Edo State, the former governor stated that he also had unhindered
access to President Muhammadu Buhari.
He
said, “What am I doing in London? Why will I go to London to see Tinubu when I
can see him in Bourdillon?
“What
are the issues between him and me that we are to resolve in London? The leader
of the party, which is President Buhari, I have access to (at) the Villa all
the time.
“I
do not need to go to London to see my leader, through the Queen. The truth is
that once a news reporter succeeds in preaching one lie, he is obliged to
preach several lies to sustain the one lie. Some of the media, having allowed
the opposition to misuse them to publish fake news, they now feel obliged to
fake more news. But I am here and I am fine.”
