2023 Polls: I’m Not Aware Of Tinubu’s Whereabouts – Oshiomhole
BY EDMOND ODOK – Amid rumours of sudden ill-health and being flown out of the country incognito, the former Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has admitted not knowing the current whereabouts of All Progressives Congress (APC), presidential flagbearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Declaring that he does not know if Tinubu is in the country at present, Comrade Oshiomhole said; “I don’t report to him every day. So I’m not sure if he’s around or not.”
Press further on the fact that he is the Deputy Director General of Tinubu’s campaign team and should be working closely with the Party’s candidate, the former APC National Chairman retorted; “That will be when the campaign council is formally inaugurated and my office is activated. That has not been done yet”.
However, Comrade Oshiomhole, who will also be contesting the Edo North Senatorial seat in the 2023 general elections, debunked claims that the Candidate’s ill-health was responsible for the delay in inaugurating the body ahead of the 2023 elections
The former APC National Chairman, who spoke on the popular Channels Television’s programme, Politics Today, on Wednesday night, said; “We are yet to inaugurate our Campaign Council because the Chairman (President Muhammadu Buhari) was away in New York”.
According to him, with the President’s return to the country, the official inauguration of the Council is now set to take place but did not give any possible date when the event will likely take place.
