Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is trending on social media over a blunder he made during a press conference on Friday.

Oshiomhole made the gaffe while commenting on the Osun governorship rerun election which was won by Gboyega Oyetola, his party’s candidate.

“I think that for democracy to flourish, only people who can accept the pain of rigging, sorry, defeat should participate in an election,” the former Edo governor said.

I remember how ashamed I was when Sherrif emerged as the PDP National Chairman. This is even worse. https://t.co/pHGdAfNuv7

I thought this man called Adams Oshiomole was a Knowledgeable man? A lot of we Nigerians have been misled. How can you come on National TV rather, an International TV News to say "Only people who can accept the pain of rigging". This is what we bargained for. It's our fault https://t.co/eLWw88I2ZY
