Omisore stated this while speaking in an interview Channels Television programme, Politics Today on Wednesday.

The vice-chairman also sued Omisore and Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of the party, asking a court to compel them to provide APC’s financial report on the elections.
According to reports, the ruling party had allegedly raked in billions of naira from the sale of nomination forms.
But, Omisore said some of the issues raised by Lukman have been addressed by the party, adding that he (Lukman) is ignorant because he does not attend meetings.
According to Omisore, only cowards who are afraid of speaking are behind Lukman.
He said, “There are cowards everywhere. So it is not impossible. But the point is that out of 25 members of the national working committee (NWC), only one person is the black sheep.
