Oshiomhole dismisses rumours of presidential declaration

Former National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has reacted to social media reports regarding his interest in the presidency.

Social media invites were sent to some journalists and other stakeholders on Friday morning, asking them to attend Oshiomhole’s presidential declaration at the Federal Capital Territory FCT Council for Arts and Culture in Area 10, Abuja.

Major streets of Abuja were also dotted with presidential posters of the former labour leader.

Some of his supporters had thronged the venue only to be told that the event would no longer hold.

Oshiomhole said in an interview that he knew nothing about the invite, adding that whenever he made up his mind to go for any office, he would speak directly to Nigerians.

“It must be a mistake. I will not declare on the pages of newspapers. If I will declare, it will be to people.”
