Osman demanded Haji Musa’s resignation over the party-office clash

Evidence

Ali Shiddo, Jama Gani, and Salaad Abdi visited Osman in his home with the suggestion that a committee of mediators should be formed. Osman listened but did not commit himself. He told them that the only choice was for Haji Musa to resign, but they could try to mediate if the minister was willing to heed their advice. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 1283
