Ebun Francis| Adams Oshiomhole, former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Mondy said he will accept to be the chairman of the ruling party if called upon to do so.
Oshiomhole who stated this in a statement seen by Alabingo.com, said he, however, remains proud of the achievements of the party’s national working committee (NWC) under his leadership.
The for labour leader also said he holds no grudge against anyone who contributed to his removal, as he has instructed his lawyers to withdraw the suit challenging his suspension.
Oshiomhole said, “I instructed my lawyers to withdraw the suits challenging my purported suspension from office by the proxies of those bent on removing me as chairman.”
“It is, therefore, the height of mischief to insinuate, as it is being done in some quarters, that I would publicly accept the decision and later surreptitiously seek to contest it in court.
“That chapter of my political life is closed. Even if another NEC decision or a court order reverses the dissolution, with utmost humility I will decline to return as APC chairman.
“I am proud of the accomplishments of the NWC under my leadership and I am grateful to the principled 18 members who worked as a team committed to the cause of the party. Above all, I bear no grudges against any one for the manner of my removal.”
The former governor of Edo State further thanked President Muhammadu Buhari he extended to him during his tenure as the chairman of the ruling APC.
