Oshiomole Remains Suspended Until He Apologises – Obaseki

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said the suspension of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole from the party still stands until he apologises.

The governor said this during an expanded meeting with leaders of the APC from all the wards and local government areas in Edo North held at Jattu-Uzaire, Etsako West Local Government Area of the state, PM News reports.

The meeting had in attendance, the Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu; Edo State APC Chairman, Mr. Anselm Ojezua; members of the state executive council, as well as party delegates and leaders at wards, local government councils, state and national levels.

Obaseki maintained that the party and its members did not support godfatherism in the state, adding, “If you behave like a godfather, we will fight you.”

He said due process was followed in the suspension of Comrade Oshiomhole, and that any action taken by the suspended National Chairman remains ultra vires.

Obaseki stated that the National Chairman could only be considered back into the party when he apologised to members of the APC, noting that Oshiomhole could not take any action on behalf of the APC because he was validly suspended from his ward.
