Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole has revealed that he joined APC Not To Become Chairman But To wipe out PDP completely from Power
The immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole on Saturday clarified that despite from office as the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), he is still an active member of the party.
Oshiomhole showed up in the public space after a long time as he attended the fundraising and investiture of Mrs. Victoria Unuoarumi as the 10th President of Rotary Club of Maitama, Abuja.
Speaking to journalists at the event, Oshiomhole said that his intention of joining APC was not to chairman but to remove the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from power. As such, he said he has no regret leaving as APC chairman.
The APC national working committee (NWC) led by Oshiomhole was dissolved by the party’s national executive committee (NEC) in June 2020 following a protracted leadership crisis.

“No. Life is all about regret. I am a very happy man. Or do you see me looking sad? I might look small but not sad, ” he said.
“I had addressed newsmen shortly after my removal and said that regardless of the legality or illegality of my removal, I accepted what happened in good faith and resolved I would not contest it. I promised to remain committed, do what I can as a party member to support the party.
“I’m still active in all APC activities and I don’t think that I needed to be a chairman to be of relevance.
“I didn’t join the party to become chairman, I joined in order to form an alternative platform capable of kicking PDP out of power and that objective was achieved.
“It doesn’t matter the way things have gone. The primary purpose was not for me to be APC chairman,” Oshiomhole said.
