The 18 Local Government Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State have called on the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to expel the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, from the party.

They made the call on Tuesday in a statement tly signed by the Chairman of the body and Etsako West Chairman, Ibrahim Akokia, as well as his Etsako Central and Owan West counterparts, Suleiman Bagudu and Lugard Alukpe respectively.

This comes as the crisis rocking the state chapter of the party deepens, following the suspension of the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, by the party’s leadership in Edo State.

The state leadership had explained in a statement issued earlier that Oshiomhole was suspended following the vote of no confidence ed on him by the APC LG chairmen.

The LG chairmen, however, distanced themselves from the said suspension of the APC national chairman, saying the claim of ing a vote of no confidence on Oshiomhole was not true.

On the contrary, they accused Governor Obaseki of harassment and intimidation, adding his actions could pull down the APC in the state.

“He is on a mission to destroy APC in Edo State but we will resist it,” they said.

The chairmen added, “We are the chairmen of the party in the 18 LGA s and we are not aware of the meeting where a vote of no confidence was ed on the national chairman of our party, Comrade Oshiomhole who is doing very well.

“Rather we are aware that majority of the chairmen haven suffered intimidation, harassment and assault in the hands of the Governor Godwin Obaseki led istration, what we have never seen in the politics of our dear state.”

The chairmen, thereafter, ed a vote of no confidence on Governor Obaseki and the embattled state chairman of the party, Anslem Ojezua.

They alleged that both men have not only failed the party but the people of the state, adding that they have been involved in anti-party activities and lacked the moral rights to remain in the APC.

“Oshiomhole remains our leader and we vote of confidence on his leadership.

“It is sad that the governor and his cohorts are using money to induce our but majority of them, we are happy, have resisted his moves to intimidate them,” the LG chairmen alleged.

Local government boos asking for the sack of state boos, for the suspension of the national boss.



This is serious. If I where the state boss, I will be the middle man here, I will sack all of the local boss, then cross carpet and come back for the national boss, to face him in a battle of ballot box.

I think AMBODE is learning now, and OBASEKE on the map.

Edo people the play is ON

..

muykem:
Obaseki has lost his second term in office.

Damnnnnn niggarrr. Obaseki won't lose any shit

Oshiomole's punch is watery!!!

OK.

Media playing with your heads.

Yesterday, it was 18 LG chairmen suspends Oshiomole.

Today, it is 18 LG calls for Obaseki suspension.

Agenda setting theory comes to mind. Nigeria lacks media literacy.

Ok

All these fights have no benefit to the common man. Rather ego and selfishness.

Thunder fire both Oshiomole and Obaseki

If this is true.

Obaseki is gone.

I'm beginning to think,this crisis is staged.. They want to use it to distract other parties.. I no trust even this Obaseki.. See Ize Iyamu wen say him na Pastor.. I pity for Nigeria..

This is getting interesting... nothing musa no go see for gate

Etsako West Chairman, Ibrahim Akokia, as well as his Etsako Central and Owan West counterparts, Suleiman Bagudu and Lugard Alukpe respectively. These ones are the only Osho loyalist left

Haha. Maybe na why Pastor iyamu abi wetin be him name defected...

Obaseki may be just as useless as 99.9% of Nigeria governors, but he is no Ambode. He won't go down without a fight

Is it not same LG chairmen that expelled oshiomole.. Abi Edo state has many chairmen.

APC can never like good thing.. this governor is the best APC governor.. just because he doesn't want to be under Oshiomole..

Who has d image of Lalasticlala? I'm carrying out an intensive research on African Snakes.

We are watching.

the other ones are local government party chairmen.

Will that reduce the price of rice?

See their large mouths like 'sack obaseki'... Idiots, because obaseki is using tax payers money wisely to develop primitive Edo state, that's his only sin.. Obaseki for 2nd tenure, wailers should continue wailing till thy kingdom come

Edo people don enter one chance.

maybe you forgot that without Edo North APC is non existent in Edo State.

The sound from the evil forest is getting clearer by the day.

This is the exact script doctored by the "Ekuke" himself, Oshiomole

Obaseki has performed beyond everyone's expectation in Edo state, except Oshiomole. If you know about the State, you will understand this assertion. I expect all the Benis and well meaning indigenes of Edo State to rally round Godwin Obaseki and disgrace the antics of Oshiomole, who sees nothing good in this present istration because he thinks more of himself and his immediate ancestral territory

Lol...

Na Etsako LGA chairmen wey be minorities come dey sign and deliver letter?

This fight go sweet die....

will only Edo North delegates vote in the primary? The battle is about who fly the flag. If Edo North refuse to vote for obaseki in the main election, PDP win!
