LAGOS – Minister of Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has blasted Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, former National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC ), saying he is not responsible for his political misfortune.
The Minister in a statement by his media aide, Tunde Moshood said Oshiomhole is still suffering from the political disappointment he suffered in the Edo governorship election.
“We have been alerted about a press statement making the rounds credited to one Victor Oshioke issued on behalf of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and titled ‘LEAVE OSHIOMHOLE OUT OF APC LEADERSHIP DEBATE’.
“We initially had our doubts as to the authenticity of the said statement in which the respected Comrade made several unfair and unfounded allegations against Mr Keyamo, but when we were bombarded by credible sources for our response and after taking our time to send someone to call the author to authenticate it, we had no choice but to set the records straight.
“The story of the political tussle between Gov. Godwin Obaseki and Comrade Adams Oshiomhole in Edo State is so well documented that we do not need to remind Nigerians about it. Mr Keyamo had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it.
“The cases they filed against each other raged from Benin to Abuja and other parts of the country. Mr Keyamo NEVER filed a single case in court, nor was his Chambers or juniors in Chambers used in any of the cases. The records are there.
