The Aslem Ojezua-led faction of the Edo All Progressives
Congress, APC, has dispelled rumour that plans are underway to expel Adams
Oshiomhole, a former National Chairman of the party from the party.
Ojezua told The Nation that the rumour making the rounds
that the APC faction has written the national body of the party informing it of
their plans to expel to end Oshiomhole’s membership of the ruling party.
Ojezua insisted that the APC was yet to meet to review the
entire election, adding that such plans are not known to him.
According to Ojezua, “We have not met. We are meeting on
Thursday to review the entire situation. That is when we will make our decision
known by way of formal briefing. We have not met. We shall meet on Thursday.”
A tweet, allegedly by Ajezua on Tuesday had read, “I have
written to the APC National headquarters that I and all the party chairmen down
to the ward level have all signed the petition to completely expel Adams
Oshiomhole from our great Party.”
Incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, defeated his main opponent and candidate of the APC, Pastor Osagie
Ize-Iyamu in the last Saturday’s governorship election in Edo State.
Prior to the election, Obaseki left the ruling APC for the
PDP following a faceoff with his predecessor, Oshiomhole which led to his
disqualification by the party due to alleged certificate issues.
