DSS ARRESTS ADAMS OSHIOMHOLE OVER APC PRIMARIES
Information reaching the
PoliticsNGR newsdesk reveals that the national chairman of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole was briefly detained by the
Department of state Security Services, DSS on Sunday.
According to Cable,
Oshiomhole was grilled by DSS operatives for nine hours after some APC
governors alleged that he received bribes during the party’s primary elections
across the country.
He was also pressured to
resign during interrogation by the DSS.
Oshiomhole refused
highlighting that he would only do so if he loses the confidence of President
Muhammadu Buhari.
The APC chairman told
the DSS that the president was in the loop of every action he took during the
party’s primaries.
“Adams Oshiomhole was
arrested by the DSS, they didn’t show him any petition. It was alleged by some
governors that he collected bribe during the primaries,” a source said.
“He was told to resign
and he told DSS operatives that he will resign if he loses the confidence of
the president. He said everything the party did, he (Buhari) was in the know.”
Another source said the
president expressed shock at the governors’ move, saying he was not aware of
the development.
“On Monday night
Oshiomhole met with the president and briefed him on what happened and the
president was shocked. The president said he did not know about it and promised
to look into it,” the source said.
The APC primaries were
marred by controversies. Elections in some states had to be repeated.
