Obaseki Rejects APC NWC’s Fact Finding Committe Decision

The leadership of the Edo State government has rejected the decision of the All Progressive Party APC National Working Committee to upheld the suspension of the governor Godwin Obaseki.

Obaseki through the state government noted that the National Chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole was involved in the crisis rocking the state and therefore, lacked the merit to constitute a fact finding committee on the matter.

The Chief of Staff to the Governor,Taiwo Akerele, disclosed that Oshiomhole lacked the merit to preside over the fact finding committee as he was part of the crisis rocking the party in the state. Adding that, the suspension of the Governor violate the constitution of the party.

He said “It has been brought to our attention the purported resolution of the hurriedly assembled APC National Working Committee where they upheld a resolution of compromised APC members who supposedly suspended the Chairman of party Anselm Ojezua.

“It is very unfortunate that Oshiomole who supposed to know the rudiments of our constitution is the one championing a rudderless group to truncate our hard-earned democracy. Oshiomole did not border to hear from the other side by inviting Anselm Ojezua but went ahead to upheld a disputed suspension.

“This is an afront on the APC constitution and a negation of the principle of fair hearing. The NWC does not have the power to suspend a state chairman. It is the National Executive Committee comprising of state governors and other leaders that has the power to uphold whatever a state has done. It is unfortunate that Oshiomole has refused to live above board in the crisis engulfing Edo state.”
