Oshiomhole Denies Attacking Aisha Buhari Over Public Comment
In a statement on Tuesday, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, debunked reports of making any comments against the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari.
A post which made the rounds online had alleged that Oshiomhole accused Mrs Buhari of being in an amorous relationship with a certain senator of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The fake news post had read: “It is unfortunate that our First Lady Aisha Buhari has allowed her amorous relationship with a certain PDP senator to becloud her sense of responsibility. We will make sure she returns to Adamawa while Buhari remains in the presidential villa.”
In the swift reaction, Simon described the post as malicious and misleading, saying it is the handiwork of mischief makers and the PDP.
He said: “At no fora did the National Chairman make such uncomplimentary remarks against the person of the First Lady.
“This is part of the fake news from the pit of hell being propagated by highly unscrupulous elements of the PDP and their cohorts, knowing fully well that they have lost the forthcoming general elections.”
Simon said this alleged effort by the PDP was to cause disaffection among members of the ruling party, adding that Mrs Buhari, the National Chairman and other leaders of the party enjoy a cordial relationship and work in unison to ensure that the “PDP looters” do not return to power.
He, therefore, urged that the public disregard this misleading comment on the social media.
