Edo APC faction suspends Obaseki, deputy, over alleged plan to join PDP

The Edo Peoples Movement, a faction of the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state, on Wednesday announced the suspension of Governor Godwin Obaseki; his deputy, Philip Shaibu; and the Secretary to the State Government, Ogie Osarodion.

Announcing the suspension at an enlarged meeting and press briefing held at the residence of Gen. Charles Airhiavbere in Benin, Mr. Patrick Ikahriale who read the speech on behalf of EPM said, “Governor Obaseki, his deputy, Phillip Shuaibu; Anslem Ojezua and Osarodion Ogie (SSG), from available information from top leaders of the PDP, have concluded plans to defect from the APC and seek re-election on that platform.

“For us the authentic APC stakeholders in Edo State, we wholeheartedly denounce such.

“We wish to state that at the appropriate time, the APC National Working Committee will initiate the process of party primaries for the selection of the party’s gubernatorial candidate.

“We will abide by the guidelines for such primaries as the constitution of the party vests the responsibility of conducting primaries on the NWC.

“We are prepared to give every aspirant equal opportunity to test their popularity. We will resist any attempt to close the political space,” Ikahriake said.

“Consequently, we hereby suspend Governor Godwin Obaseki, Hon Phillip Shuaibu and Barr. Osarodion Ogie from the party for anti-party activities and urge the National Working Committee to set the machinery in motion for further disciplinary action against them,” he added.

The APC though... So he is suspended because he refused to to bend to the will of his predecessor? Our way of playing politics in Nigeria seems demonic.

Quite unfortunate that the good people of Edo State will feel this wàhálà more than anything. The short, dark man in Abuja without an idea on how to act as a leader should understand that it was Oyegun's turn yesterday before it got to him.

If as a party they can't resolve their crisis internally without having to make a public, they very well shouldn't be trusted with leadership and positions.

Edo state is boiling because of some pple's greed .....God pls let not the lives of the innocent be sacrificed for what they know not.

Madness everywhere

Mad people everywhere

Oshiomole's ultimate plan unfolding. Gradually paving the way for Ize-Iyamu. It's going to be interesting to see how all the drama will fully unfold in the days ahead.

The weed APC members in edo state smokes is really strong. Drama upon drama

Ikhariele isnt a cacus of edo apc headed by ojezua, he is just an oshomole boy with nothing official

The polity is tense.


I pity the senseless idiots that would allow themselves to be used and probably killed in the coming weeks.

Las las military will take over again cos Nigeria isn't ready for democracy.


Win win for the north as usual.


Politicians with no room for developmental projects.

I know Oshiomhole's camp would retaliate in a short while.

If this is true,then.....

PDP expels theirs, APC suspends theirs.

This Edo politics is becoming comically interesting.

Backyard suspension

d battle line has just be drawn

..."Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” ___The Holy Bible.

Crazy people. Obaseki's 8years must be complete.

Oshiomole who was against godfatherism now wants to be a godfather! Rubbish!
