Adams Oshiomhole, the Senator for Edo North and former national chairman of the Nigeria — All Progressives Congress (APC), revealed the circumstances of his removal from the party's top position. He stated that he was sacked through a Zoom meeting held at the Nigeria — The State House (Aso Rock Villa), despite his significant contributions to the party's victory in the 2015 presidential election under Muhammadu Buhari. Oshiomhole detailed how efforts to remove him democratically failed, leading to a petition of no confidence from eight ward members and subsequent court orders that were initially quashed but later reinstated, culminating in his removal via a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting conducted remotely.
