“If Oshiomhole seeks the person who ‘mounted a celebration’ into a private empire, he wants solely take a look at the godfather he serves. Beneath the APC, get together supremacy died, dissent was criminalised, and establishments of state grew to become partisan weapons. That’s the solely form of ‘fixing’ Oshiomhole understands,” he acknowledged.
