The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has relocated its state secretariat ahead the forthcoming September 19, 2020 Edo State Governorship Election.

This comes amid the raging crisis rocking the Edo State chapter of the APC over the mode of primary to be used in the conduct of its June 22 governorship primary.

The APC Constitution permits three methods - Direct (involving all registered members of the party voting choice candidate), Indirect (involving accredited delegates) and Consensus (adoption of one candidate by the party).

While the National Party led by Adams Oshiomhole settled for Direct Primary, a faction loyal to the governor is insisting on Indirect Primary. Already, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has backed the decision of Oshiomhole, saying it does not deal with state chapters of political parties.

A letter exclusively obtained by Igbere TV Monday shows that the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of the change.

In the letter he personally signed dated 29th May 2020, and addressed to INEC Chairman, Oshiomhole said the new address of the state party is now 16 Igwiwiyise street, Off Airport Road, Benin City.

He said he had also informed the Edo State Police Commissioner, the Director of State Security Services (DSS) and State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) of the new development.

When contacted of its sudden decision to relocate the party secretariat, an official of the APC in Abuja said the National Party does not recognize the faction operating in the former secretariat.

The official, who craved anonymity, said the Party had uphold the suspension of Anselm Ojezua as state chairman, while recognizing David Imuse as Acting Chairman.

“Yes, it's true (that the secretariat has been relocated). Don't forget that Ojezua and his group are no longer recognized by us, so any activities from them are null and void...,” the party official declared.

The post, "BREAKING: Edo APC Relocates Secretariat, Oshiomhole Notifies INEC", first appeared on Igbere TV.

This is getting serious.

Political permutations

This is not the duty of National Chairman to do.... What happened to the office of the Nation Organising Secretary?
Politicians always using their powers wrongly.

Jargons and helpless permutation.

High Political Intrigues!

No be National Chairmo work be dis na

But sorry to say, INEC only recognize the communication from the Chairman of a Party

meum:

Oshiomothief is desperate

Obaseki isn't smart.....


Changing the Secretariat and the state champion isn't a good move......It's a move to finally nail Obaseki's political career.....


INEC will be the one to collate and announce the results.....


And INEC is answerable to Oshiomole....

Oshiomole is winning on this fight....

it is oshomole duty notify inec the necessary secretariat .
Inec dont have business with state chapter in conducting primary. The national working committee is the one to provide necessary files and documents

ORIENTATION101:
it is oshomole duty check inec guidelines for primary.
Inec dont have business with state chapter in conducting primary. The national working committee is the one to provide necessary files and documents

I am talking about the letter informing INEC about the change of address of the state secretariat... Not the Primary Election,

it is within his constitutional powers, because it is part of requirements according to inec guidelines.

Why should it be the NOS?

Wow... Let's watch

Now we are going to see who has the greater power in the State.

The State APC is under the direct leadership of the governor. This unilateral action of Oshiomole is dictatorial in nature and he should be removed asap and the NWC take charge of the whole matter.

.....what Oshiomole just did is like Buhari interfering unjustly with the decisions and governance of a State.

This is getting more interesting as time unfolds.

War is brewing in Edo state. This one na gladiators fighting

What is wrong with this ugly midget self... he's over doing this

We say no to godfatherism in Edo. Meanwhile sub your dstv and gotv and contact us for any issues.

Oshiomole na hypocrite and him go over am. What happened to one man one vote? Say no to godfatherism??



Edo election should be a turning point in Nigeria's politics. Let's do the needful.


Let's make Nigeria great together.


God bless Nigeria.

but how can one man in Abuja just relocate the address of a party Secretariat in another state

So what's my concern?

I don't think the national chairman have the right to change the state address.

I see lawsuit upon lawsuit.

everything is playing out for PDP good Sha

The battle line has just been drawn

which Secretariat. Obeseki or Oshiomole

I applaud obaseki, this shows he is not a pushover.

haaabaaaa.....osho baba pls take it easy with obaseki na..first it was u saying it must be direct Primaries, next was that abaseki forged his papers and now you are shifting the venue to your own location( just like caf shifting a worldcup qualifier decider against egypt from a neutral ground to cairo).....just like wat happened in lagos last year it must be hard times for obaseki right now but i think he should stick to his plan and approach this new measures lyk a warrior but i pray that he doesn't end up the ambode way (afterall e wife no slap pastor), am not a fan of godfatherism in politics but it seems like its here to stay in naija politics but las las na GOD get final say....
