The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has said he would not mortgage his conscience just to keep his job.
He made this known after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari alongside National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday.
Reacting to calls for his removal over the acrimonious party primaries in the states, Oshiomhole said, “Let me say that if there is a choice between my conscience-what I believe is right and mortgaging that conscience in order to keep the job, I will have no difficulty resolving it in favour of my conscience.
