The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, is trending on social media over a blunder, “pain of rigging” he made during a press conference on Friday.
Oshiomhole goofed while commenting on the Osun governorship rerun election which was won by Gboyega Oyetola, his party’s candidate.
“I think that for democracy to flourish, only people who can accept the pain of rigging, sorry, defeat should participate in an election,” the former Edo governor said.

I remember how ashamed I was when Sherrif emerged as the PDP National Chairman. This is even worse. https://t.co/pHGdAfNuv7
