The All Progressives Congress
(APC), in Edo State, says it has suspended the National Chairman of the party,
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, over his role in the crisis rocking the state chapter
of the party.
News of the suspension was
contained in a statement signed by state chairman of the party, Anselm Ojezua
and Assistant State Secretary, Ikuenobe Anthony.
The statement added that the
decision followed the vote of no confidence passed on Oshiomhole by the
Chairmen of the APC in the 18 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Edo State.
They said the decision was
necessary to prevent a repeat of what happened in Zamfara State, where the
party was unable to field any candidate in elections.
It reads in part: “Consequent on
the development, the State Executive Committee has adopted the vote of no
confidence passed on him and the subsisting suspension order from the organs of
the party in the state.
“Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is the
one behind the crisis in Edo APC. We have passed a vote of no confidence on him
and he stands suspended from the party.
“We don’t want what happened in
Zamfara State or other parts of the country to happen in Edo State.”
