<\/p>\nSpeaking with Arewa. Ng in Calabar, Cross River State capital on Monday, Ukweni said, \u201cHe is not a diplomatic man, he is not a man who would succumb to diplomacy.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut in Nigerian system of politics, he can\u2019t fit in the management of a political party because managing a political party requires diplomacy which he can\u2019t display.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not in his character, he is a man who is use to fighting, he is a unionist, he is an Aluta man, so if the party feels that, oh we want somebody who is to take us on that collision struggle, Oshiomhole is such a person.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if they say, no we are at a stage where we need to mend fences and be diplomatic about certain things and to bring everybody together, the fatherly disposition, certainly that is not in the nature of Oshiomhole, that is my understanding of him,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Ukweni further said, \u201cSo if they needed somebody who would act fatherly and be able to be diplomatic about things and play politics on certain issues, galvanize the party, put everybody together, they shouldn\u2019t have looked for somebody like Oshiomhole because that is not in his character.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis antecedent and character are different from that, so clearly when they were bringing him, we who are onlookers felt that it was the nature of the leadership they wanted.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo they shouldn\u2019t complain, you can\u2019t at that stage, at his age, you can\u2019t say you will put Oshiomhole in a position and start reforming him to leave what has been his conviction and the orientation and what he is used to, so they should expect what they are having now\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n
He said Oshiomhole has a fixed position on things and issues and one cannot easily take him away from it. \u201cHe can\u2019t be diplomatic on certain issues, this is what I believe in, I must do it that way and he will go on to do it that way. That is his nature,\u201d he pointed.<\/p>\n
The head of Chamber said that the problem with APC leadership was expected because when you put somebody in position, you have to know his antecedent; you have to know his background.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdam Oshiomhole came from a background of unionism and then you can\u2019t take it away from him. He is a man of strong character in the sense that, what he believes in, he goes after it.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
