The All Progressives
Congress, Edo state have insisted that the Governor of Edo state Mr Godwin
Obaseki must face the party primaries as September election draws closer.
The factional state
chairman of the party Colonel David Imuse said this while briefing newsmen in
Benin city the state capital on Friday saying that Gov Obaseki is only wasting
his time in trying to sponsor issues against the party that brought him to
power.
According to him, ‘
it is a pity that, as a governor under the same political party, you are
celebrating a purported suspension of your party national chairman, not just
national chairman but a man that handed government to you as a successor.
‘While they were
here at Urhokpota hall in Benin city celebrating the suspension of our dear
party national chairman, it was unknown to them that another which has
jurisdiction to do so have upturned what they tagged as breakthrough’
‘We will not be
intimidated or harassed by threat of various kinds by the state governor who
continually think he has monopoly of violence, It’s going to be a tooth for a
tooth, an eye for an eye. Oshiomhole remains APC national chairman and the
leader of our party, whether they like it or not, enough is enough, he Gov
Obaseki will never get automatic ticket in this party he added.
On his part, Sule
Emuakemeh, secretary to ward 10 in Estako west LGA (Oshiomhole ward) said there
was never a time the party at the ward level suspended the national chairman,
stressing that the ward party chairman who is alleged to be the Governor’s boy
will single-handedly suspend Oshiomhile under the instruction of Gov Obaseki.
