Oshiomhole to critics: I was trained to be combative (Nation)

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has told those accusing him of being too combative as the National Chairman of a governing party to keep their cool as he was not about to change his approach because he did not join politics to be changed by the way things are done by politicians.

Oshiomhole said his long stay in Labour taught him to be combative, stressing that he did not join politics to be changed or commit class suicide, but to impose his own ways of doing things.

The former Edo state governor and Labour leader also said he was of the view that diplomacy will not address the challenges facing the country, adding that only an aggressive engagement can force those benefiting from the statusquo to change in such a way that will make the country better.

Speaking at a reception organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) for the Director General of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Guy Ryder, Oshiomhole said he believe that more labour leaders should join government so that together they can force a change in the way things are done in the country.
