ADAMS OSHOMHOLE: The Embodiment Of Gangsterism And Autocracy

Image may contain: one or more people and close-up
Adams Oshomhole is a belligerent, gabby, shambolic cum egocentric character understandably desperate for attention since leaving office as Edo State governor. The Nigerian ruling party, APC has taken a toll since Adams Oshiomhole grabbed its leadership a little more than a month ago.

Frankly, it has become obligatory to inform the chairman that he is becoming an embarrassment not only to his party but also the country. His persistent outburst against opposition figures only goes to show that Mr. Oshiomhole is not a democrat and lacks the intellectual capacity to lead a ruling party. If not, before rushing to the press, Oshiomhole ought to always have done some research on issues.

Adams Oshomhole is finding it difficult to understand the political truth based on the following objective facts:

1)      President Muhammadu Buhari no longer has what it takes to lead a 21st Century Nigeria and is not supposed to be the nominee of any party in the 2019 presidential election.
2)      The Nigerian masses—from all regions—are yearning for a dynamic, visionary, charismatic, and detribalized leader with the capacity to unleash the abundant potential of Nigeria to greatness.
3)      President Buhari is the real problem in APC; his second term bid is ill-advised and central to the crisis rocking his party.
4)      Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole was elected chairman for all APC members, not an emperor for the inordinate ambition of President Buhari for a second term in office
5)      Oshiomhole’s leadership style since assuming office, typified by a pattern of reckless utterances and intimidation, is an embarrassing failure which, of course, hastened the mass exodus of members to the opposition ranks.
  
I must conclude thusly, Oshiomhole appears to have graduated into a grandiose godfather and now joining to form a wall against the younger generation of leaders and ideas.
