Labour Party says former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole should be ashamed of himself for attempting to use insecurity to measure the performance of Peter Obi, during his tenure as Anambra State governor.
LP National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Arabambi Abayomi, stated this in response to Oshiomhole’s statement that Obi was incapable of solving Nigeria’s security challenge because he failed to tackle insecurity in Anambra State while he served as governor.
Arabambi, who spoke on Sunday, said, “I’m aware that Oshimohole was governor of Edo State, for two terms.
“He was part of those who connived to foist this reckless government of propagandists on Nigerians using deceit and scare-mongering in 2015.
“We are aware that when Peter Obi, our candidate was governor of Anambra, IPOB was not ordering people to sit at home.
“It is curious that a government, which Comrade Adams Oshimohole is part and parcel of, can even attempt to use security as a yardstick to talk about any other government before it.
“Is it not under this government that the Kuje Prison was attacked by bandits without a shot fired by security forces?
“ Is it not under this same Buhari-led APC government that bandits attacked the convoy of the sitting President and killed close to 30 security personnel?
“These same bandits threatened to kidnap the President and the government is now at the mercy of a rag-tag army of bandits and terrorists; instead of tackling this menace, the government is busy chasing innocent Nigerians and threatening them for showing discontent with the woeful failure of this ill-prepared administration.
“If one may ask, where did comrade Oshimohole get the N100 million he used to pay for the APC Presidential form he picked?
“We know for a fact he didn’t have this money before he ruled Edo for 8 years. He wasn’t flying business class when he was in the NLC.
“Now that he and his friends in government have helped themselves, they are scared that the house they built on quicksand will crumble.”
The LP, however, assured that it would remain focused in its pursuit of giving Nigerians leaders and a government they truly deserve.
The party described the Obi-Datti ticket as a credible alternative to the deceit and propaganda to which the APC administration had reduced governance.
