Adebayo Shittu, the immediate past minister of communications says embattled national chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) is a very corrupt leader unfit to be the shepherd of the party.
Barrister Shittu stated this on a live radio programme monitored in Ibadan today. The programme Political Circuit was aired on Fresh FM Radio station owned by the juju musician, Mr. Yinka Ayefele.
He said that Oshiomole had earlier confessed sometimes ago that Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai came to him to prevail on him as the the national chairman to ensure that he blocked Senator Sheu Sani from contesting again as a senator from the state. He said that apart from El Rufai, other governors also got help from Mr. Oshiomole to prevent their own enemies from running for elections.

Adebayo Shittu believed that this practice of Oshiomole was against fair judgement and standard practice. He believed that he suffered the same fate in his own state of Oyo too as he was at loggerheads with the past governor of Oyo state, Mr. Abiola Ajimobi who he finger as the one responsible for his disqualification by the party for his own gubernatorial ambition.
Futhermore, Mr. Shittu stated that his disqualification based on his not going for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was unfounded saying even the former past Governor Ajimobi too never went for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), yet was cleared by the party to contest. He also named Mr Dapo Abiodun who is Ogun State present governor of not going for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The ex-minister says that lots of things are wrong with the All Progressive Congress (APC) both at the national level and the state level. He says he still remain a loyal member of the party.
