The crisis rocking the Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Monday, took a dramatic turn following the sudden sack of some political appointees, ahead of the 2020 governorship election.

Although the governor, Godwin Obaseki, has denied the cold war between him and his predecessor, the national chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, findings by Igbere TV however showed a big rift between the duo.

On Thursday, the state government announced the sack of all political appointees in Egor Local Government Council, through the council boss, Mrs Eghe Ogbemudia.

Similarly, the Edo State House of Assembly, today, ratified the removal of Pastor Eleduwa from office, as Orhionmwon Council Vice Chairman.

No reason was given for the action, an impeccable source, however, told Igbere TV that the governor is determined to weed out non-loyalists ahead of the party's primaries.

“Yes, it's true that the governor ordered their sack. I can equally confirm that more will go in the weeks ahead, including Commissioners and Council Chairmen.

“The governor is hell-bent at getting his second term ticket, and he is not leaving any stone unturned in a bid to getting rid of Oshiomhole’s loyalists off his way,” an EXCO of the State APC, who craved anonymity, told Igbere TV.

Igbere TV learnt that Barr. Henry Idahagbon, a former Edo Attorney General and Co-converner of Edo Peoples Movement, the group championship for Obaseki’s removal, is a leader in Egor Local Government Council.

He had accused Governor Obaseki of failing to carry party leaders who made him governor along, among many other accusations.

There are also fears that the state government might sack all appointees perceived to be loyal to former governor Adams Oshiomhole, in the build up to the 2020 guber polls.

See some reactions of the affected appointees as obtained by Igbere TV on social media.

Petty sentiments everywhere...

It is well in my state

Oshiomole still manifesting his toutish impunity even in his own home state.Later they go blame the opposition for their self-inflicted power tussle and roforofo fight.
Benin will be lost.

Let me park hre first

I wonder what qualified Oshiomole to be APC chairman. all the election loss of APC today was his caused


how can you side some godfather and against another one, is that not biased. the earlier he approaches this issue diplomatically. if PDP are wise, this is the time for them to strike and exploit this advantage to their side

Obaseki teaching Ambode rules of engagement.

Obaseki teaching Ambode rules of engagement.

Oba Eseki！





Osanobua de ba wee！

Edo and ugly governor

Hmmmm

Nawa o

Edo state is not Lagos state where one ora b man decides everything.

Dont instal successor as you will be discarded and disgraced sooner or later but they wont listen

If Ambode has reacted swiftly to this issues in his party niiii, Ambode will have win his second term ticket. But Ambode was too cold for my liking. Now they want to exercise that method on obaseki in edo state. Obaseki is very smart in his game.

This is what I hate most in Nigeria politics. They will be in power like emperor silent their predecessor and any other contrary opinion around them but after 8years, they still want to be in full control of their successor.

Obaseki just dey give Oshiomole gbas gbos.

Left and right....

Samson Osagie and Idiahagbon na expire goods.

The biggest mistake APC Edo north made was saying whatever Oshiomole says is what they will do.

Una go sabi say akpokor na pepper.
