EDO 2020: Obaseki’s Disqualification A Hatchet Job-Oyegun

One time National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has reacted to the disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State from contesting the party’s 2020 gubernatorial primaries.

Reacting to the announcement, Oyegun said the party will suffer “dire consequences” in Edo State, adding that was a hatchet job.

Recall that Obaseki was disqualified by the APC screening panel.

Odigie-Oyegun who described Obaseki’s disqualification as a hatchet job said it was aimed at installing a stooge that will allow some people unfettered access to the Edo Treasury.

This was contained in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Chief Ray Morphy, in Abuja, on Friday.

The statement read in part, “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.”
