A former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, narrated how life treated him after his removal from office.

Oshiomhole was unceremoniously removed from office after Ward Executives of the party suspended him.

Speaking at a ceremony in Benin City, where Governor Monday Okpebholo handed over 54 heavy-duty trucks to the 18 local government areas, Oshiomhole said he was shocked that Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, called him to commission a flyover project.

Oshiomhole said his party abandoned him.

"This is a man who knows the meaning of friendship. He (Wike) also identified with people when they are in distress.

"After I was dismissed as National Chairman of the APC, even after I led them to victory, I became lonely and abandoned by my own party. People were even afraid to visit me because it could be termed anti-party.

"I got a call from a Nigerian who identifies with those who are lonely, and he invited me to Port Harcourt to commission a flyover. Wike honoured me by giving me the highest honour of the River State. He also renewed my hope."
