Adams Oshiomhole, Senator representing the Edo North senatorial district, has faulted former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for criticizing Senator Ifeanyi Okowa for defecting to All Progressives Congress (APC).


The federal lawmaker also said that there was never a time he said defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), and your sins will be forgiven.


Comrade Oshiomhole refuted the allegation at the 28th Founders Day Lecture of the Independent Television and Radio, with the theme: “Nigeria, where are we going”?, an event organized by the media outfit in Benin city, Edo state.

 Oshiomhole's said that he was only trying to explain to one of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members whose surname was “Iluobe” meaning I do no wrong.

He said that the former PDP member decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and he was only trying to tell him to maintain his surname now that he has joined the APC, added that ever since then, people have twisted it to mean that he told him that his sins have been forgiven now that he is now in the APC.


The former governor of Edo State also faulted the former vice president Atiku Abubakar for criticising the former governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa and his successor, Sheriff Oborevwori for decamping to the APC.

The chairman of the senate committee on interior said Abubakar has no right to challenge them because defecting from one party to another is his stock in trade.

He said when the situation is to his favour, he will not complain but if it goes otherwise, it becomes an issue of discourse.

The Edo North senator while lauding the president Bola Tinubu on the way he has been handling the issues of people moving from the opposition party to the APC, he said, he has never used the instrumentality of states to coerce anyone to join his party but those joining are being compelled by the charismatic leadership of the presidency.

For Edo State governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, he assured the management of the Independent Television and Radio of a strong collaboration in the state.

He said ITV and Radio had remained consistent since its establishment 28 years ago.

Okpebholo represented by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Paul Ohonbamu, said that the state government has embarked on roads infrastructure to make life worthwhile for the people of the state.
