The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomole has threatened to sue Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki over an allegation linking him with bribery.
In a report by Punch News, Oshiomole is accused of collecting money from party members to help boost their ambition.
He denies this in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Simon Ebegbulem.
“It is equally sad, but not unexpected, that Saraki, who is politically drowning, would make such libelous comments against the national chairman of the APC. And I challenge Saraki to mention one name of an aspirant that gave money to the National Chairman or we file a legal action against him.
“Whereas the basis on which he made those comments was tenuous and unjustifiable, it is on record that Saraki has been in the eye of investigations by the EFCC and the ICPC for sundry cases of corruption.
“That is the same man that has taken it upon himself to question Comrade Oshiomhole’s credibility.”
“We challenge him to mention one person who has claimed that he gave money to Oshiomhole to influence him and the decision of the party’s national working committee in the just-concluded primary elections."
Saraki eager for Buhari's response
Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki is hopeful about a good response from President Muhammadu Buhari over the rumours surrounding the APC party chairman Oshiomole.
