Former National Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun says the party’s decision to disqualify Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki from its June 22 gubernatorial primaries may spell its doom in the gubernatorial election slated for later in the year.
He disclosed this in a statement signed by his media aide, Chief Ray Morphy.
Odigie-Oyegun said that allegations of anti-party activities levelled against the governor were untrue, stressing that Obaseki’s arch-enemy and current National Chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole should be the one answering questions for anti-party activities.
“While not a surprise, that disqualification is a clear indication that internal democracy has been murdered in APC, a party which we founded on the principles of fair play and good conscience!
“I daresay that APC will suffer dire consequences in Edo state if this disqualification is not speedily reversed.
“As a matter of fact, Oshiomhole is indeed the one who is guilty of anti-party (activities), not Obaseki.
“Oshiomhole is the one who is acting unconstitutionally not Obaseki. I hope that Oshiomhole will not go down in history as the undertaker of APC,” Odigie-Oyegun said.
Meanwhile, Obaseki has vowed not to appeal his disqualification by the party’s screening panel for the June 22 gubernatorial primaries
