In a statement posted on X on Monday, TAM condemned Oshiomhole’s remarks made during a Tuesday appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today as baseless and deplorable. 

Oshiomhole had claimed Atiku’s frequent party switches, driven by ambition rather than principle, made him the ideal candidate to write a book on political defections.

TAM dismissed Oshiomhole’s comments as a shameless display of sycophancy, accusing him of abandoning his legacy as a respected labour leader to become a mouthpiece for the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s failing regime. 

The group further lambasted Oshiomhole for betraying the people of Edo State by imposing an incompetent governor to serve his and the APC’s interests.

“TAM is appalled by Oshiomhole’s betrayal of the Edo people and the Nigerian masses, who deserve leaders of integrity,” the statement read. 

“We urge him to seek forgiveness from God and the people of Edo, focus on his ineffective senatorial role, and stop his baseless attacks on Atiku, whose vision for a united and prosperous Nigeria remains unparalleled.”

TAM reaffirmed Atiku’s commitment to supporting democratic forces across Nigeria to improve the lives of citizens, undeterred by Oshiomhole’s remarks.
