Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, today retracted the comments he made on Governor Samuel Ortom, on 27th July, 2018.

The retraction has been published in national newspapers today, 18th March, 2021.

These include The Nation, full page, on page 29, Thisday and Vanguard, half pages on 41 and 7 respectively.

Below is the retraction:

RETRACTION OF PUBLICATION

On the 27th day of July, 2018 at the National Headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and particularly in my capacity then as the Chairman of the Party, I addressed different national issues as well as some events which occurred in Benue State, including the movement earlier that day of his Excellency, Dr. Samuel Ortom (Executive Governor of Benue State) from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party.

In the course of the press conference, I made certain comments about Dr Ortom on the basis of information I have since found to be false and baseless.

His Excellency Dr Samuel Ortom felt embarrassed, defamed and deeply aggrieved by the comments I made at the said press conference, culminating in litigation.

That politics aside, Governor Samuel Ortom is a dear friend and brother with whom I have shared so much in common, including mutual respect.

That as former colleagues and one time members of the Nigerian Governors’ forum and most importantly as someone whom I am just a phone call away from, any ridicule, embarrassment, spite and insult caused Dr Samuel Ortom is regretted.

Owing to the relationship we share and in the larger interest of peace, harmony and brotherliness, I believe a complete retraction of my comments made on 27th July, 2018, and which Dr Samuel Ortom found offensive is proper and necessary.

In view of all the above, I hereby retract the comments made during the press conference on 27th July, 2018, as it relates to Dr Samuel Ortom.

Signed:

Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole.

Not good to talk too much

Believe Oshiomhole at your detriment


This is someone that would beg anenih in secret and lambast him in public and go beg in secret again


This is someone that begged gej to allow him do his second term yet was lambasting gej when buhari showed interest for 2015

Oshiomhole really suffered. His wife that ran away pained me most

Just see how much he just spent to apologize..cash wey him for dash loyal boys for edo.

Truely, Osho Baba has been reduced to Osho pikin.

Obaseki, the Slayer of Oshopikin and jagabandit.

Truely Edo no be Lagos.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Not good to talk too much

his apology to edo people,will cover the entire punch and thisday newspapers.

Osho baba was intoxicated with power then and now is dawn on him that power is transient and his trying to make amend.

Oshomole trying to play God then until the fulani man in Aso Rock humbled him in shock, Obaseki made him irrelevant in Edo, now he is looking for peace again.

baba don finally become humble

Better understanding of what is it to be a NATIONAL UNION LEADER.

When is he going to apologize to Imo people for imposing a supreme court governor on them?

Power pass power

Good development.The turn in the power play has really humbled Oshiobaba

They always become sober, circumspect and penitent ONLY after leaving power. Disgusting human beings.

Nigeria is just cursed

She ran with her kpekus seemingly untapped
Edo guys fall my hand big time, by allowing that woman to go without putting her in a family way

Politicians and politics....I'll be one of them soon.
