FORMER Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola is holding tight to a Federal Government board appointment, despite leading ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Third Force battle against the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

Oyinlola presided over a major three-day international conference that ended in Abuja yesterday, as the board chairman of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

Many assumed that he would resign from the position after the launch of the Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM).

When The Nation met him at the International Conference Centre, Oyinlola was eagerly responding to questions but he entered his car and drove away immediately he was asked about his continued chairmanship of NIMC board while mobilising for a political war against the ruling party.
