Senator Adams Oshiomhole has revealed the personal struggles he faced following his dismissal as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the period as one of isolation and abandonment.
Speaking during the handover of 54 construction equipment to the 18 Local Government Areas in Edo State, Oshiomhole said that many party members distanced themselves from him after his removal, leaving him lonely and without support.
“After I was dismissed as APC National Chairman, I became lonely, abandoned by my own party. People were afraid to visit me then because it could be termed anti-party,” he said.
He credited Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike for reaching out during this difficult period, inviting him to commission a flyover in Port Harcourt and granting him the highest honour of the state.
“I got a call from a rare Nigerian who identifies with those who are lonely and he invited me to Port Harcourt to commission a flyover. That was not all — this minister honoured me with the highest recognition in Rivers State,” Oshiomhole added.
Oshiomhole described the support as a source of renewed hope, highlighting the importance of solidarity during times of personal and political setback.
