After the initial uproar about the removal of the APC National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole, reality is it will not be easy for just a bum in the party to uproot its national chairman elected in a convention.
The knot has to be unravelled, which s why the embattled chairman appealed the high court judgement suspending him.
Oshiomhole, therefore, remains the party’s national chairman, according to sources in the parties National Working Committee.
A war of attrition between the former governor and his godson Gov. Godwin Obaseki degenerated so low the Edo state chapter of the APC suspended him as a member last year, and the chairman didn’t challenge it until yesterday when the court sacked him.
In spite of reactions and reports suggesting party leaders and governors are warming up to replace him, there has been no official statement coming from the party National Executive Council and other leaders.
Apparently, Oshiomhole has the the party’s national Leader Bola Tinubu and President Muhammadu Buhari covering his back.
