Vote-buying: Oshiomhole suffering from multiple personality syndrome – Jonathan

Former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has accused the All Progressives Congress national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole of suffering from multiple personality syndrome in addition to a Jekyll and Hyde schizophrenia.
The former President stated this in a swift reaction to comments made by Oshiomhole during Channels Television programme, ‘Roadmap’ where he (Oshiomhole) claimed that Jonathan was the architect of massive vote-buying in the country.
In a statement signed by his media adviser, Ikechukwu Eze, the ex-President blasted Oshiomhole, alleging that he is not only unduly loud-mouthed but inconsistent.
“His recent flip flops where he praised Governor Samuel Ortom and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso one day only to denounce them the very next day, is enough evidence of his fragile psychological state.” Jonathan said he could not fathom the reason for Oshiomhole’s inconsistency, noting that perhaps the former Edo state governor was being pressured and therefore under tremendous stress.
“We really do not know the real reason for this misleading falsehood, at this point in time.
However, we can only guess that Mr. Oshiomhole, who is currently operating under tremendous stress in the bid to steady the already floundering ship of his administration as the new leader of his party, may have got himself entangled in a voyage of tactless desperation.
“Not only is he content on squabbling with members of the opposition, we note the self destructive tendencies of Oshiomhole who is locked in a feud with members of his own party, including the minister of labour, Chris Ngige, and a host of APC governors.
It appears that Mr. Oshiomhole’s psychological strain may have reached boiling point.
“On the vexatious issue of ‘votebuying’, which has unfortunately found its way into our election lexicon, this is what we know: It is obvious that the shameful development in our democratic experience became very glaring during the 2016 gubernatorial elections in Edo state; an exercise that took place more than one year after President Jonathan had left office.
“It is therefore disingenuous for any politician or group to link the former President with the anomaly, no matter how they want to stretch the now-failing blame game.” Further buttressing his submission, the statement noted: “While in Office as President between 2010 and 2015, Jonathan conducted many elections including the 2011 and 2015 general elections, and many off-season gubernatorial and parliamentary elections in some states like Anambra, Ekiti, Ondo and Edo.
“One of those who gave the former President a clean bill of health, was Mr.
Oshiomhole himself who on July 16, 2012 said: “What the Edo election has confirmed is that when the President and Commander-in-Chief puts the country first and he conducts himself as a statesman not just as a party leader, credible elections are possible.
