SHOCKER! APC disown Oshiomhole, says, you are no longer our leader

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Edo State, Anselm Ojezua, has said that the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, is not the leader of the party in the state.

He said that the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, is the leader of the Edo APC.

The party chairman said this on Saturday when he who spoke with reporters after a meeting with party leaders in Edo North at Jattu-Uzaire, Etsako West Local Government Area of the state.

He said Oshiomhole remained suspended from the party, adding that there was no division in the state chapter of the party.
Ojezua said: “There’s nothing to be afraid of as no man is God and God is firmly standing with Edo people.

“Secondly, you will hear them say the APC in Edo State is divided. Is there anybody of substance in Edo North who is not here today?
“That division is in the imagination of some people, not in the APC. The APC in Edo is intact and will soon announce a committee for mobilisation of new members from across the 18 LGAs.

“We must remain focused and avoid distractions from enemies of our great party. Whatever is happening in Edo today is not new.
“This is the third time. The first was between (late) Chief (Tony) Anenih, who claimed to be the leader of the party and (former Governor) Lucky Igbinedion, who the constitution empowered to be the leader.

“For the record, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, not even that of the APC, recognises two leaders – the President of the country and the governor of the state.
