The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has rejected an emergency caucus meeting called by the South-South region of the party.

The meeting, scheduled to take place this Thursday in Abuja, is convened by the APC national vice chairman, South-South, Hilliard Eta.

The national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, and the Edo governor, Godwin Obaseki, are among the 73 persons from the region invited to the meeting, according to a notice placed by Mr Eta in a national newspaper.

The Edo chapter of the APC has, however, indicated it would not attend the Abuja meeting.

In a statement issued Thursday morning, the state chairman of the party, Anselm Ojezua, said the venue of the meeting is Mr Oshiomhole’s private office and that party “leaders” in the zone were not consulted before the meeting.

Mr Ojezua, in addition, said the purpose of the meeting is to “procure” and pass a vote of confidence on Mr Oshiomhole.

“Members are by this medium advised to ignore this notice and refrain from attending the meeting.

“A proper meeting of the caucus members within the boundaries of the South-south region of Nigeria should be convened in due course, after due consultation with the leaders of the Zone,” said Mr Ojezua who referred to Mr Oshiomhole, in the statement, as the “suspended chairman”.

*Titanic battle*

The APC national chairman, Mr Oshiomhole, and Governor Obaseki have been locked in an epic political battle in Edo State.

The political fight between the two leaders has led to a factional crisis in Edo APC and the state assembly.

A Benin High Court last week restrained a faction of APC loyal to Mr Oshiomhole from removing from office, the APC chairman in the state, Anselm Ojezua.

Mr Ojezua’s faction recently announced the “suspension” of Mr Oshiomhole from APC in the state.

Several people believed to be loyal to Mr Oshiomhole have either been relieved of their positions in the state or suspended from the party to weaken the APC national chairman’s grip on the party politics in the state.

More than 10 of the elected state lawmakers, who are yet to be inaugurated, are currently on self-exile in Abuja reportedly for fear of their safety in Edo.

There is fear that the crisis may affect the fortunes of the party in the governorship election in Edo next year.

Apart from Mr Oshiomhole and Mr Obaseki, other APC chieftains invited to the Abuja meeting are the minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; the minister of state for petroleum, Timi Silva, and the minister of Niger Delta affairs, Godswill Akpabio.

The Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, the governor-elect of Bayelsa, David Lyon, and his deputy, Biobarakuma Degi, have also been invited to the meeting.

GOOD.
As the ftc let me conduct mini poll here.
Like for obaseki

this one pass fight o

Mr Ojezua’s faction recently announced the “suspension” of Mr Oshiomhole from APC in the state.

Why is Oshiomhole still parading himself as APC chairman when he has been suspended?

I don't understand it.

I'm suspecting Gov. Obaseki to be an Arsenal fan (a goner)

Una wahala.....

A good and better Nigeria is all we want, not all these brouhaha.

God bless Nigeria.

Obaseki is being surrounded by his enemies, they didn't give him good advice. He will regret of ever become Edo state governor if care is not taking. The party leaders can't trade Oshiomele for him at least not for now.

Good.
When Oshiomole, Amaechi, Sylvia, Akpabio, David Lyon, Omo Agege and Co attend but Obaseki doesn't attend because he's too big, he should be ready to use his roughened head to carry the consequences.

Obaseki is a very unintelligent politician who doesn't know how to build bridges. He would end up like Akala of Oyo State.

I strongly suspect those advising Obaseki were planted there by Oshiomole to ruin the idiot. And I'm not referring to the Ipob pigs making noise online.

Obaseki is a bini man.in Benin we don't dull.that is why we are able to develop Europe like our igbo counterparts developing South Africa and asia

We shall see the real boss after primaries

Oshiomole is behaving like a village tout !

He had his own full dosage of the office of governor of Edo state for 8 years where he had a field day interrupted by electorate.

But he is now promoting godfatherism and distracting governance in Edo state.

By the time Buhari tenure ends, he will know that nothing last for ever.

Ggbege

Is it real? If so Edo is really the HART BEAT of the NATION.
As we can see as it is going,
may we invite that guy that sang, nigeria jaga jaga, to come for our reminder. This is serious.

You should direct your question to those Igbos putting their mouths in Edo politics. The same things have been insulting Jonathan over Bayelsa.

it seems u don't know Edo people... oshiomole doesn't have a say in Edo state and Edo apc...the powerful APC members in Edo are Binis and oshiomole is afemai.this is most difficult aspect for oshiomole in Edo apc ....the most difficult one for oshiomole generally is far oshiomole is the most hated man in Edo state
