Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says Nigerians will not vote “looting” Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into power again.

Oshiomhole made the remark while fielding questions from reporters after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, in Abuja on Friday.

“They just want to capture power for the sake of power. And they said okay even though we have already broken the house into pieces for the purpose of capturing power, let’s come together, does it make sense?” he asked.

“I mean in the morning you broke away from PDP to SDP, then to ADC and then in the evening, you say you are this.

“Let me put it in a different way, as brothers and sisters belonging to the same family, we decided to fight and denounce our family, denounce our surname and everybody decides to adopt a name that suits him, now we are confronting our opponent, we suddenly realize that we have just become pockets of mushrooms, you knowing having dropped our father’s surname and adopt different name, we now say how do we confront this massive opposition.

“Then we say okay, we can’t be brothers again because we have already denounced that, but can we now become a coalition of friends, now what brothers cannot do, is it friends that will do it? Particularly friends of all kinds of multiple feathers.

“By whatever form they come in, Nigerians have spoken and they are not about to return to the era where NNPC and Central Bank and security money is shared to people based on the philosophy of PDP—share the money— they won’t do that.

“It is very easy for robbers to forget the robbery they have committed but the victims of robbery hardly forget.”
