The National
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has called on
members of the party to support efforts by President Muhammadu Buhari to flush
out politicians who are bent on looting the nation’s treasury.
Oshiomhole
said this on Friday while addressing a crowd of supporters at the Benin
Airport, Edo State.
The former
Edo State governor, who was apparently reacting to the gale of defections from
the ruling APC, said the Federal Government would not sacrifice the welfare of
the citizens for politicians who are only interested in getting juicy
appointments.
Oshiomhole
said, “Working together with President Buhari, we will ensure that the
government will not focus on the welfare of the few at the expense of the
majority. The government will ensure that those who work have something to show
for their labour.
“We must
support the President and the APC to remove all those looters, who believe it
is their birthright to continue to loot and those who say that their purpose in
government is for juicy appointments and not for the welfare of the people.”
The APC
national chairman stressed that his leadership would provide true
representation that would meet the aspirations of Nigerians.
He said he
would work closely with the state government to address the needs of the
people.
He stated,
“At this point, I am very clear; we will have to fight on the basis of our
conviction. And we will adopt our style.
“We will not
borrow other people’s style. I am very proud of my working-class background and
we will bring that value into the leadership and management of the APC.”
Oshiomhole
appealed to the youths to remain committed to the APC, as no one would be “used
and dumped” under his watch.
He said, “To
our youths, I want to particularly appeal to you. Do not lose faith; there will
be work. There will be participation. There will be involvement.
“There will
be inclusivity. We will not throw anybody away; nobody will be used and
dumped.”
