An APC chieftain in Edo, Mr
Bright Obarogie, has urged the Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the party, Alh.
Mai Mala Buni, to caution the APC Governors’ Forum Director-General (D-G), Dr
Salihu Lukeman.
Obarogie who made the call in
Benin on Friday while fielding questions from newsmen claimed that Lukeman’s
intent and purpose were not for the good of the party, saying he should be
called to order, NAN reports.
He was reacting to a statement
credited to the D-G that the former National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole,
had hijacked the campaign structure of the APC governorship candidate in Edo.
It would be recalled that the APC
governors’ forum director-general had in a recent statement titled: ‘Which Way,
APC?’, claimed that Oshiomhole had hijacked Osagie Ize-Iyamu’s campaign.
Lukeman raised the alarm over
what he described as the diminishing electoral value of the party.
Obarogie, however, said that
Lukeman’s position was not only untrue but capable of sending a wrong signal to
the camps of the other governorship candidates for the Sep. 19 election.
He said, “ What Oshiomhole had
succeeded in doing since the beginning of the campaign for the Edo poll, was to
have placed APC in a position as the party to beat in the election.”
The chieftain, a key financier of
APC at the grassroots, said that Oshiomhole had added bite to the campaign and
united all the party faithful in the quest to take back the state.
“The working relationship between
Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu, the party’s candidate, and indeed the entire APC
campaign team, has never been this smooth.
“We are all united and working
harmoniously to win and win big for our party,” Obarogie said.
