Senate President , Dr Bukola Saraki on Wednesday hit out at the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress , Adams Oshiomhole , saying that he had lost moral right to remain in politics.Speaking with journalists in Ilorin during the sixth remembrance prayer for his father , Saraki said Oshiomhole had ‘ no locus standi to talk about morality in today ’ s Nigeria ’ s politics.

“ That must be a joke coming from Oshiomhole talking about moral ground . I think Oshiomhole has no locus standi to talk about morality today . Oshiomhole is somebody who has been told to have been collecting not even naira but dollars from candidates and he is being accused by his party’ s aspirants and governors . I don’ t think he has any moral ground , even to continue to be in politics, not to talk about being a chairman of a party.

“ I remember in those days , even Oyegun , they never accused him of something like this. I have left that party. I ’ m sure the President , based on integrity , knows the right thing to do . So , on moral ground , he cannot speak . ”

The Chief Press Secretary to Oshiomhole , Mr . Simon Ebegbulem , could not be reached for comments .

He neither picked the calls placed on his telephone nor responded to a text message from one of our correspondents .
