To tame the escalating trend in the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) has set up a facts finding and reconciliation committee.

Announcing this on Wednesday evening, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, the APC’s NWC also upheld the suspension of the Chairman of the party’s state chapter, Mr Anselm Ojezua.

He was suspended by 11 of the 16 members of the chapter’s executive council.

The party, which lamented the worsening situation within the chapter, clarified that its steps in the ongoing interventions would be guided by the primary intention of finding a lasting resolution to the disagreements.

On the suspension of Ojezua, the party’s NWC said it adopted the decision of the State Executive Council of the party because it was comfortable that due process was followed in arriving at the decision. The suspension would persist untill the facts-finding and reconciliation committee comes with its report.

“The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has watched with grave concern the political development within the Party ranks in Edo State and is deeply disturbed by the recent turn of events. We note that this is happening inspite of the various steps the party has taken to find an amicable resolution.

“Recall that party leaders such as the Chairman, Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) and Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi; Chairman, Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) and Governor of Kebbi State, Alhaji Abubakar Bagudu, and other eminent party leaders, had all tried at various times to ensure that the issues do not escalate.

“Sadly, these interventions have not yielded the desirable results.

“However, the immediate concern of the NWC is how to ensure that unity returns to the ranks of the party in Edo State. In achieving this, we have decided to constitute a high-power fact-finding and reconciliation committee of party leaders to meet with all disputing parties to ensure that all issues are addressed and resolved.

“Meanwhile, the meeting of the NWC, which held today, Wednesday, at the Party’s National Secretariat received a notification of the suspension of the Edo State APC Chairman, Anslem Ojezua by eleven [11] of the sixteen [16] members of the Edo State Working Committee (SWC). We have reviewed the process they followed and conclude that they have fulfilled the required conditions.

“We therefore uphold the suspension of the Edo State APC Chairman, Anslem Ojezua while we await the outcome of the fact-finding and reconciliation committee.

“Please note that the NWC’s objective and cause of action is strictly to address the root causes of the disputations and reconcile all parties to make our great party even stronger,” the statement said.

Edo chieftain saying he will support northerners in 2023 is a hatchet job from ijoyeseki abi wetin im name to spite Tinubu oko iya gbogbo won.

una neva see anything...

This Edo saga is a big lesson, not only to would-be godfathers but also to would-be godsons.

Nobody should tell any candidate "come and be governor I have annointed you and you are my candidate"

And;

Anybody who is told "come let me make you governor, you are my candidate "

You must know exactly what to expect.

You are going to be a storage!

Don't agree today and come and be crying tomorrow, that they told you to share money and you refused that's why they are after you.


Say No to godfatherism, Also say No to godsonism.

Hmmm

SmH..

Nah now day dey break for una eye Abi? Eve of election Who does that
all indication apc is gradually losing edo state.

Piglets already rejoicing... it's not easy to be a second fiddle tribe.

what have you achieved as a first fiddle tribe?

They accepted Ojezua's suspension because he's loyal to Obaseki and kept mumb on Oshiomole's suspension.

Jokers!

My happiness is that Obaseki will cut all of u to size.

If u do too much, he will defect to PDP.

He has a loyal speaker to watch his back.

You want to resolve the issue, yet, you are upholding the suspension of the party's state chairman.

Jokers!

adams will rather APC loses edo to PDP than obaseki returns... who will blame him?..The main problem is that PDP in edo are not looking serious!!

Lol..

why be say na only apc dey get problem everytime

APC should be suspended in Edo till further notice.

Come 2022, this is how the centre will look like.

The speaker has the total support of Edo central senatorial district. The APC state chairman is also from Edo central. Edo central knows that the only way she can emerge Governor in 2024 is if they support and allow Obaseki finish his 8 years. Then the political calculations would be that Edo south would support them also. If Obaseki survives this onslaught with Oshiomole, he will become a new political figure in Edo state.

Let him just survive
Obaseki 4+4

Ojezua is loyal to Oshomole not Obaseki, they accepted that one because its a complete due process , but that of Oshomole, the NEC of APC will have to review(while Oshobaba is excuse from it)before accepting the vote of no confidence by the 18 LGA state chairmen of APC. That's the step to remove a national chairman , which is at the last stage since majority of his state chairmen have signed his removal.


Oshomole do more than this year as APC national chairman , he tried. He must be killed out, ...whether in APC or PDP, 2023 is the TURN for NORTH EAST... Insha'Allah

Well it's a calculation. Izee iyamu who was in PDP and ran against obaseki in 2016 has decamped to the APC. Rumors has it that Oshiomole is bringing him to run against Obaseki. Izee iyamu once worked with Oshiomole before they fell out. Oshiomole has the party structure on ground and most of the delegates are loyal to him. So if Obaseki does not get APC ticket, PDP is the only party that has the structure in Edo to give him a win. PDP owns Edo central. All he needs is his ground in Edo south and PDP is also very popular in Edo south
