Obaseki’s disqualification, a hatchet job with ‘dire consequences’ – Odigie-Oyegun

As reactions continue to trail the disqualification of Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun said, APC will suffer for it.

Expressing anger at the impunity of Adams Oshiomhole, he said, the party will suffer “dire consequences” in Edo State on account of the disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki saying that APC cannot win election.

Odigie-Oyegun maintained that the screening panel has done a hatched job that would kill APC in Edo State, noting that Edo people will not allow a stooge to be planted that will allow some people unfettered access to the Treasury.

This was contained in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Chief Ray Morphy, in Abuja, and made available to journalits on Friday.

Part of the statement said: “While not a surprise, that disqualification is a clear indication that internal democracy has been murdered in APC, a party which we founded on the principles of fair play and good conscience!

“I daresay that APC will suffer dire consequences in Edo state if this disqualification is not speedily reversed.


“As a matter of fact, Oshiomhole is indeed the one who is guilty of anti-party (activities), not Obaseki. Oshiomhole is the one who is acting unconstitutionally not Obaseki. I hope that Oshiomhole will not go down in history as the undertaker of APC.”
