The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday described the exit of a former leader of the party, Chief Tom Ikimi, as a “defection into the lion’s den.” The state’s Publicity Secretary, Godwin Erahon, who made this known in Benin, said the party was waiting carefully for the next political move of Ikimi before responding to the issues he gave for leaving the APC, adding that his exit had given the party an avenue to re-strategise at the local level in order to win the forth-coming elections. Erahon said, “For now the state chapter will not want to comment in details on the decision of Chief Tom Ikimi to leave us. “At the appropriate time when he settles down in the PDP where he is obviously going, we will have time to respond to some of his outbursts. “We saw a lot of claims and counter-claims in the letter he wrote; we will address them in due time. “We wish him well wherever he is going, but we sympathise with him because if he said he is running away from crocodile in APC, he is running into the lion’s den.” He also said Ikimi’s exit from the party was a good omen for better things to come in the APC, noting that the APC would defeat the opposition party at the former party leader’s local government. He said, “Even now in Igueben the member representing Igueben in the state house of assembly is from the PDP, which means while he was with us he lost his local government to PDP and therefore we cannot lose more than that now that he is gone. “We are also hoping that with his exit the party will be better organised at his local level and by the next election, we are going to be able to defeat the PDP in that constituency and that tells you that we don’t believe that we have lost anything substantial or meaningful. “We see it as a good omen. In every system God will always help those who mean well. We pray that whoever that will constitute obstacle to victory in the 2015 presidential election that God will push him or her out. “All of them who want to leave, we wish them well.” He, however, assured party members that the achievements of the APC in the state in the last six years would not be jeopardised by the defection of some members to the opposition. http://www.punchng.com/news/ikimi-is-defecting-into-the-lions-den-apc/ |

Even now in Igueben the member representing Igueben in the state house of assembly is from the PDP, which means while he was with us he lost his local government to PDP and therefore we cannot lose more than that now that he is gone ...And they call him a political juggernaut   1 Like |

Where is that coconut head guy that was arguing this shiiit with me He said, “Even now in Igueben the member representing Igueben in the state house of assembly is from the PDP, which means while he was with us he lost his local government to PDP and therefore we cannot lose more than that now that he is gone. Everyone knows that Ikimi is just frustrated because he wasn't chosen as the chairman of the party. This guy is just hiding under Oshiomhole's factor to make himself relevant in Edo politics and APC at large. He couldn't even win his constituency for APC. I was expecting him to raise ideological issues not this personal vendetta he's throwing around like a little bittch. Meanwhile, he's welcomed to PDP but I doubt if Annenih will not silence him the way he did to Ogbemudia. I never knew a man of his calibre can be jumping from one party to another. Sure he's a foool at 80 3 Likes |

Bluetooth2: If Tom Ikimi were a political titan as he claimed an Oshiomhole would have sided with him in all of his travails Yet Oshiomhole has kept mute as if he doesn't even know him..... Tom Ikimi's issue with ACN-- APC didnt start today......He has been at logger heads with Adams Oshiomhole over the control of the party in Edo state and Oshiomhole knowing that he Ikimi didnt contribite much to making him a Governor,hence Oshiomhole have always barely tolerated him in deference to his age Oshiomhole it was who pulled the plug on him with Asiwaju and threaten to leave the Party if Ikimi should become APC Chairman,knowing fully well that he might hijack the party from him in the state using his power at the National He should go and slug it out with Tony Anenih who has become the Godfather plenipotentiary both in Edo and even in Aso Rock......The most they will give him is a membership of the BOT in the Party and the Chairmanship of the Board of a Parastatal |
