Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is on his way back to Nigeria from the UK, according to a report in TheCable.
The APC chairman travelled out of the country after he was allegedly quizzed by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegations that he took bribe during his party’s primary elections from some governors.
Iara, wife of the former Edo governor, is said to be indisposed and receiving treatment in the US.
According to the report, Oshiomhole arrived London from the US on Thursday where he met with Bola Tinubu, chieftain of the APC.
He departed London for Lagos by British Airways on Friday morning.
He was originally scheduled to return to Nigeria on Sunday but had to cut his trip short because of the speculation on his ordeal with the DSS, and also to shut down reports that he fled the country over the matter.
Oshiomhole is at loggerheads with some APC governors who are dissatisfied with his handling of the ruling party’s primaries.
