Mr. Anselm Ojezua, factional Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo, says he will not be leaving the party with the governor.

Ojezua is leading a faction of the APC loyal to Gov. Godwin Obaseki before his resignation on June 16 from the party.

He said this on Tuesday in a telephone chat with newsmen on his next line of action, following Obaseki’s resignation from the APC after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.

The governor was last weekend disqualified by the APC screening committee for the Edo 2020 governorship election from contesting the party’s primaries based on discrepancies in the documents he submitted.

Obaseki later formally announced his resignation from the party to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday shortly after meeting Buhari.

However, Ojezua said he would not move with the governor as he was elected as chairman of APC with a four-year mandate, which would expire in 2022.

“I won’t move. As you can see, I still have my mandate as the elected party chairman of APC in Edo which expires by 2020, and I intend to complete that mandate,” he said.

Meanwhile, retired Col David Imuse, factional APC Chairman loyal to Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the party, described Obaseki’s resignation from the party as a welcome development.

Imuse said: “In fact, it is much expected and it is good riddance to bad rubbish.

“The party remains the party, we are preparing for our party primaries. So by Monday all of you should be prepared to witness the direct primaries which are going to be a seamless operation.

“The party is in a joyous mood, I believe you can feel it from my voice.

“He’s going to another party will not be affecting the chances of the APC.

“hip of political parties is voluntary so he can go anywhere he likes, it is his constitutional right, and does not affect the APC.”

Yoruba man way no get sense, they plant am there to fire am well well

This is a planned game between obaseki and the chairman. The chairman have to continue the factional group so that APC will not be united going into the election. This is good. Some loyalists have to remain behind and destroy APC before the enter the election

You way get sense, you mean Osiomole will trust a factional leader that ed Obaseki with any party secret?

That is strategic! Stay back to fight from within APC while obaseki takes on them from without.

Magnus didn't officially decamp to another party. In this case, the faction chairman, his principal has officially decamped, so if he's going to file any court case, on whose name his defence going to be?
Obaseki in APC or Obaseki in PDP? Most of you are really lazy youth
