The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has
suspended the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, over
his role in the crisis rocking the state chapter of the party.
The decision followed the vote of no confidence passed on
Comrade Oshiomhole by the Chairmen of the APC in the 18 Local Government Areas
(LGAs) of Edo State.
According to a statement signed by Edo APC Chairman, Anselm
Ojezua and Assistant State Secretary, Ikuenobe Anthony, “consequent on the
development, the State Executive Committee has adopted the vote of no
confidence passed on him and the subsisting suspension order from the organs of
the party in the state.”
They said the decision was necessary to prevent a repeat of
what happened in Zamfara State, where the party was unable to field any
candidate in elections.
“Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is the one behind the crisis in
Edo APC. We have passed a vote of no confidence on him and he stands suspended
from the party. We don’t want what happened in Zamfara State or other parts of
the country to happen in Edo State.”
