I did not celebrate Oshiomhole’s removal – Akeredolu

By Web News 710

Ondo state government has debunked reports of jubilation in the state over the appellate court judgment which affirmed the suspension of the embattled National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

The state Commissioner for Information, Mr Donald Ojogo while addressing journalists in Akure described the online publication in one of the National dailies as mischievous and aimed at creating crisis between Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and the leadership of the APC.

Mr Ojogo asked the public to disregard the publication noting that there was no jubilation in any part of the state over the judgment.

The Commissioner maintained that Governor Akeredolu holds the APC National Working Committee, NWC, in high esteem and would not do anything to disrespect or ridicule the members.

Mr Ojogo however called on the leadership of Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ to check the activities of its members to guard against quackery in the pen profession.
