Revealed: Why Oshiomhole will not join issues with Prof. Sagay
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is not about to banter words with the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption PACAC, Prof. Itse Sagay over his recent tirades against him.
The APC National Chairman who has been on the receiving end of media flacks from Prof. Sagay said, “I won’t join issues with Prof. Sagay, he’s my brother”.
Sagay, the party chairman said he will not reply him through the media over series of allegations levelled against him (Oshiomhole) about the crisis in the party and in Edo State.
Oshiomhole said he would rather call Prof. Sagay on phone or schedule a meeting with him and hear the issues he claimed he had with him, saying he decided not to reply him through the media because of the respect he has for him (Sagay).
Sagay had over the weekend reportedly accused Oshiomhole of creating more problems for the party, adding that he would personally demand his removal as Party Chairman if Edo State, the only state controlled by the APC in the South-South, was lost to the opposition.
But Oshiomhole said; “All I can tell you is that I have a lot of respect for Prof. Itse Sagay. I do remember very well that he was one of those who said I should contest for President. I respect him, he is a very consistent fellow. He believes in what he believed in and he pays the price for it.
“So, I have a lot of respect for him. If he has said those things, I am not going to reply to him through the newspapers. I will find out what he said and I will call him and know what the issues are, that he is not comfortable with. He is my brother and my elder statesman,” Oshiomhole said.
