Edo State Governor,
Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has hailed the ruling of an Abuja High Court which bars
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, from parading himself as National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
The Governor stated
this while addressing party members during the Edo South Senatorial rally of
the APC in Benin City, the State capital.
Obaseki, who has
been at daggers drawn with Oshiomhole over the soul of the party in Edo State
described the ruling as God’s plan and a right decision for the party which
calls for a thanksgiving to celebrate the it.
He said: “When we
planned this meeting last week to meet with all our executives, we did not know
that God has plan for us today.
“No man is God. God
is God. No man can play God. With what God has done today, what we should do
now is to just thank him.
“The meaning of what
happened today is that peace has now finally come to our party. The purpose of
God for Nigeria in our party will now be fulfilled.
“My problem with Comrade
Oshiomhole is that when people started saying that they were Edo Peoples
Movement (EPM), I called him and urged him to denounce them.
“I told him to come
out and say something. I told him ‘Comrade, denounce them, you are the national
chairman; disassociate yourself from these people that are destroying our
party.’ Up till today, he did not.”
Obaseki, however,
said that the decision of the court barring Oshiomhole from parading himself as
national chairman of the APC did not make him a happy man.
“The court has taken
the right decision today, but it does not make me a happy person because it
would not have come to this.
“So, my message
today is, when a child puts his hands in faeces, you do not cut off that hand,
you take that hand and wash it.
“And for those our
members who have been misled, we cannot practice our democracy the way it was
in 1983,” the Governor said.
