BEVERLY HILLS, Jan 25, (THEWILL) – Hoodlums Friday night razed the venue of the Auchi political campaign rally of the All Progressive Congress faction backed by the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, setting ablaze the podium, chairs and two vehicles stationed at the venue of the rally at Iyekhe in Auchi.
The APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, who is engaged in a bitter battle of supremacy with the state government and the state executive of the APC, reiterated his desire to continue to the fight.
“When I was told that they burnt this place last night, I said they must be prepared to put more fire in other places because they can’t stop us. But don’t allow anybody to push you to any length that will provoke you to fight. Those who think they have power to fight should channel such energy against the opposition parties.
“What is happening here should reinforce our confidence in God, when God decrees peace, nothing can stop it, when God says it, no man born of a woman can stop it.
“I don’t want to be a national Chairman who will campaign across the country and will not be able to win his polling unit because politics is local. There are people who think that when they reach a high level, they forget the local. I was governor before now I am no longer governor, I am national chairman today, tomorrow I will no longer be national chairman. Let me tell those people in high places that the only permanent place is the grassroots. Politics is a game of numbers not a game for the powerful because on election day all have one vote,” he said.
He urged all unit leaders, ward leaders, local government leaders, and state leaders to integrate all those who have just joined the party.
