You are from the Southsouth. Is your zone going to the meeting as one united family to defend Oshiomhole because there has been insinuation that the zone is already shopping for his replacement? I wish he knew how much Amaechi has defended him. From the days of Magnus Abe to now, Amaechi has been telling us that he trusts Oshiomhole and that if he has any flaw, being a puppet to another man’s negative agenda is not one of them. When people told him Magnus was working with Oshiomhole, he said they were wrong. When they told him Oshiomhole was working with Wike, he told them to relax. The list goes on. In fact, that’s how much he tries to stay away from politics in the Southsouth.
Buhari has said he won’t meddle in party affairs. To some, it is a sign of weakness and selfishness. They claim he doesn’t need the platform again and doesn’t care what happened to it or what the contending forces do with it? We are looking at two separate issues which are the cause and effect of each other. The first is the coronavirus which is impacting and will impact the global economy, resulting in negative growth across the board. Nigeria is no exception. Current forecasts put our expected growth rate at 2 per cent as opposed to the 2.5 per cent earlier predicted. The second issue is the Saudi – Russia crude cuts debate and the impact of a crude war. That sent the price tumbling.
How best do you think the party crisis can be resolve considering the two-state governorship elections ahead?
