John Oyegun, former national chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), has described the disqualification of Godwin
Obaseki, governor of Edo, from the party’s governorship primary election as a
“hatchet job.”
The screening panel of the APC disqualified Obaseki over
“defective certificate.” He was one of the three aspirants disqualified from
seeking the party’s ticket.
Reacting to Obaseki’s disqualification, Oyegun, through Ray
Morphy, his media aide, said sending Obaseki out of the race is part of the
plan to install a “stooge that will allow some people unfettered access to Edo
treasury.”
“While I’m not surprised, that disqualification is a clear
indication that internal democracy has been murdered in APC, a party which we
founded on the principles of fair play and good conscience, I daresay that APC
will suffer dire consequences in Edo state if this disqualification is not
speedily reversed,” he said in a statement.
“As a matter of fact, Oshiomole is indeed the one who is
guilty of anti-party activities, not Obaseki.
“Oshiomole is the one who is acting unconstitutionally not
Obaseki. I hope that Oshiomole will not go down in history as the undertaker of
APC.”
