The national secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Iyiola Omisore has described Salihu Lukman, the vice-chairman of the party as the only black sheep out of the 25 members of the national working committee (NWC) of the APC.
Omisore stated this while speaking in an interview Channels Television programme, Politics Today on Wednesday.
Recall that Lukman had accused Omisore of mismanaging funds meant for campaigns during the just concluded general election in Osun state.
The vice-chairman also sued Omisore and Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of the party, asking a court to compel them to provide APC’s financial report on the elections.
According to reports, the ruling party had allegedly raked in billions of naira from the sale of nomination forms.
But, Omisore said some of the issues raised by Lukman have been addressed by the party, adding that he (Lukman) is ignorant because he does not attend meetings.
According to Omisore, only cowards who are afraid of speaking are behind Lukman.
He said, “There are cowards everywhere. So it is not impossible. But the point is that out of 25 members of the national working committee (NWC), only one person is the black sheep.
“The NWC members are 25 and only one person, Lukman, has written so many letters, which bothers on ignorance on his part.
“About two months ago, he came to apologise to us and held a press conference to say that he was not well informed about what he did. What else do you want us to do to him? Beat or kill him?”
